I'm Going to Give Her a Rest for a Bit ...


I touched up the post, glazed over her hair, and did a bit more shadowing on her face.

Here I've touched up the shirt, and worked mostly on her hair. I think I'll leave it for a bit.  My inclination is to glaze a bit more color on her face, but I'm not sure ... 






I also went over to a neighbor's to take some photos of their glorious sunflower. Then I played around a bit with some of the images. I'd like to get some more photos when the seeds are riper and darker.
I've been procrastinating, but I think today I'll start some studies of Trigger.

As always, your comments are most welcome.

  1. No grass is growing under your feet. I think more color in the face, but let my seconding of your opinion sit for a bit. The sun flower is glorious. I like the way you've drawn the twisted petals; looks scraggly. Looks great.

  2. The girl is coming along well - it's going to be a lovely portrait.

    Sunflowers are most painters favourites, and I can see why.

    Looking forward ti Trigger.

  7. The girl is looking more and more gorgeous as you go along with finishing it up. Can't wait to see how she looks like after your finish with it. Good luck!

  8. Hi Kathryn! I LOVE your sunflower! I am struggling with painting them at the moment, and looking at yours inspires me to continue. And the portrait is already fabulous, you got some expert advice from portrait painters, I see.

  9. Oh thats awesome. I like that face a lot.. I think the face part is done. Some soft edges at the hair and face boundary may be....
