I am enjoying painting so much, I had forgotten how satisfying it is to capture an expression, a likeness. Two-thirds of the way through this painting, I have yet to complete the glazing and warming of the skins tones in the girl on the right and there are more tresses to add at the far left. I may also add detail to the background if I have time. (only 4 or 5 painting days left before the deadline) The sitters, I am glad to report, seem genuinely pleased. They are sisters and each of them has remarked on how good the likeness is of her sister!
Beautiful work, Sally. Thank you for posting ti for us all to enjoy :-)
Thanks James – all those lessons with Kingy at school have proved useful after all! I loved the art room and he was endlessly patient and encouraging.
