The Lovers II

This painting is a reproduction of the work The Lovers (II), 1928 by R. Magritte. You can find more about the original painting here.

As for the sharper color transitions the main reason is the use of acrylics instead of oil colors. Perhaps it needed another layer of corrections but I chose to stop here. The result was already satisfying (for a copy made as a study) and my concern and time were already devoted to other works.
