oil on Gessoboard
This is a girl I saw at sea world last year. Looked like she could have been part of a school field-trip - or she just happened to be wearing a back-pack. I enjoyed painting her, the colors of her hat and back-pack against the rocks, and her delicate face...seeming to be on the lookout for something. I started with my alarm set for 37 minutes...an exercise I've mentioned in an earlier post, but I went over time as I wanted to refine her face. And I felt pretty good about the result, not too much noodling:-).
I then went on to spend an hour and a half trying to perfect the proportions on another little girls face....which ultimately seemed like a total waste of time! Especially working on such a small scale...today's lesson learned...if you want to paint faces - paint bigger!!!
