I think the artist is very talented but for some reason he made her look much older than she is
-
No! The painting makes her look old and tired - wrinkles around the eyes, etc.
-
I agree, maybe its odd lighting but I would have wanted to look more youthful.
-
I wasn't a fan of it when I saw it.
-
Not at all! It's not flattering to her at all and she is SUCH a beautiful woman!
-
OH my god! She looks awful! The artist aged her like 20 years!
-
I agree, the painting is not rendering. Her hair looks great, but the dark green dress, dark background, and technique he used over her face just makes her look old and gloomy.
-
not the most flattering painting. she is a lovely girl, but the painting doesn't do her justice. maybe it's better in person...
-
I think it looks like her, but much older.
-
I think she's beautiful but the painting makes her look so much older than she really is! I think it's the whole eye area that I'm not crazy about!
-
Wow. The artist made her look old and frumpy. Poor Kate.
-
I totally agree it did not do her justice. Who ever wants a completely realistic painting of themselves in horrible lighting!? If it were me, I would have asked them to paint me 5 lb lighter and with flawless complexion
-
He also gave her such a smug smile which I hate! When you have such a gorgeous subject to work with I feel like you should have a much better result!!
-
I agree the painting makes her look much older than she is! And it's so dark!
-
I wonder if they are trying to make her look more "regal" by aging her so much?? I'd be pretty upset about it if it were a painting of me!!! I like her smiling eyes though - the artist has captured her mischievous smile whilst still allowing her to fit in with the other, more serious looking portraits.
-
I think it looks terrible around her eyes.
-
Nope. I agree with everyone else, makes her look way older then she is.
-
No...it's as if the artist saw individual details of her face and played those up instead of looking at the whole picture and figuring out how to create a beautiful portrait. She's young and radiant and he completely failed to capture that!
-
Omg, I would be so pissed off if I were her! Of ALL pictures, why pick the one where she has a mouth full of cake while about to be asked a question!?
-
No. The nose and mouth lines are what I keep looking at. She looks so much older, it's so dark, and the expression creepy.
-
I don't like it! I wish he didn't paint the bags under her eyes!
-
I don't like it at all. She looks older and sad in the photo. She looks 20x better in real life.
