... portrait attempt from a photo - looks more like her mother, though! I need to firm up her chin and deepen the shading on her face. And I must get some proper paper for pastels - watercolour paper doesn't cut it!!
And a bit of play in my art journal counting down to the new moon tomorrow :-)

Nice work. Portraits are really, and you have done well. I wish I could firm my chin with a few brush strokes! Have a lovely weekend, Valerie

she's lovely and I LOVE that phrase, listen to the moon she knows, wow, I love that!
ReplyDeleteI think you did well. Faces are really hard.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely paintings! I think it can be very difficult to be detailed with pastels, they are a challenge to me ;-)

I often use photos as a reference when I draw. I don't know how you are able to do pastels....lol I've tried to use them, but it just isn't my medium. You did a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great photo to draw from. You are doing a wonderful job. I really like your journal page too.
