Sparkler Kiss – Studio Study

Impressionistic painting of a newlywed couple in a dramatic dip-and-kiss, while a crowd illuminates them with sparklers.

I saw a great photo online from Cindy Brown at www.cindybrownphoto.com, and just had to work through a painting inspired by it.  I didn’t have any sparkler effects in any of my paintings at that time, and most of my work had been farther zoomed out, attempting to capture a whole scene.  I loved the drama of this close up angle, the chiaroscuro lighting,  and am grateful for Cindy’s willingness to let me work from her photo.

In studio paintings based on your photographer’s photos can be an excellent way to memorialize your wedding day or other meaningful event.
