Young Girl on Easel 5/21

Still trudging along on this one.  It seems the colors are still just getting sort of blocked in.

Young Girl on the Easel

Starting a new painting of this young girl  Been blocking in the colors and having a difficult time with the face. Was working  in the Renditions main gallery this weekend, but due to the heat and breeze the paint would dry very quickly, even though I am using Atelier Acrylics.  So after much frustration I brought it home and worked a while on it this evening, getting it a little more presentable.
This will be part of a series of portraits that I will be doing for people on commission for only $300 for a 16 x20 portrait.

Lindsey is the second in my Facebook Portrait Project.   Still drives me crazy with the digital camera in not getting colors quite right.  But this is the best I can get at this time.  Weird thing is I really like my rendition of Frankenstein....

This is getting close to completion.  Each time I do one of these portraits, I learn something new to try and so it is with this one.  Still have a few ideas for the background, but a lot of times I believe if the person in the portrait carries it off, there is no need for a background. It is about them after all.

I guess I can show this now.  Of course it is not finished.  I looked at this and thought where did her chin go, so I went back and made some touch ups and will need to work on the neck area some more to bring it up correctly.  You will see that in the next post.   Next time I work on this will probably be at First Friday.
