There may be some color adjustment as I go along, but the background is essentially out of the way, and now I can concentrate on the figure. I'm really excited about capturing Amelia's beauty. She has big blue eyes, fair skin, and blonde hair, albeit hidden in a severe ballet sweep.
Originally, I was going to dub this painting: "Amelia at the bar," but chose instead: "Dainty Diva." I will show you the final painting in approximately two weeks if I'm not interrupted. I'm still trying to complete my watercolor painting on display last week. I have so many paintings I want to do (if I should live so long, ha).

It's coming along nicely, Carol. If all of your grandkids want you to paint their portrait, Grandma may never have time to paint birds again. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love to paint people almost as much as birds and animals. As I said "I should live so long!"
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable, Carol. What a lovely subject, the perfect little ballerina.
