I am finally happy with the first two likenesses (at last!! hallelujah!) and I'm just about done with the third portrait. The slow progress is not only the product of a my very <span style="font-style: italic;">slight</span> tendency to be a neurotic perfectionist, I am also super busy.<br /><br />The color will go much faster which is good because the girls will have to sit still for this part, and they are wiggly. Thank goodness for Nintendo DS and Club Penguin or they'd be in revolt right now.<br /><br />I'll start with thin transparent layers of color in the dark areas and then build the thickness of the paint in progressive steps to the lightest areas. Pure white being the last and thickest application.<br /><br />That's the plan anyway.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6150546242388655933-4112353888197989565?l=larasportraits.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Larahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05306292622901352354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150546242388655933.post-19626069864283631232008-09-16T06:32:00.002-07:002008-09-16T06:34:55.355-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-HnhYyvy7as/SM-1si0N1sI/AAAAAAAAAjA/6udGxGKK2rk/s1600-h/Portrait+Study.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-HnhYyvy7as/SM-1si0N1sI/AAAAAAAAAjA/6udGxGKK2rk/s320/Portrait+Study.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246611867774604994" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This is a live study of a woman painted with oils on linen.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6150546242388655933-1962606986428363123?l=larasportraits.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Larahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05306292622901352354noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150546242388655933.post-47030615926634281062008-09-12T10:09:00.000-07:002008-09-12T10:18:25.429-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-HnhYyvy7as/SMqkQoElfsI/AAAAAAAAAf4/D8DxaGwMZ4w/s1600-h/Colored+Pencil+Portrait.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-HnhYyvy7as/SMqkQoElfsI/AAAAAAAAAf4/D8DxaGwMZ4w/s320/Colored+Pencil+Portrait.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245185321567878850" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This portrait was done with chalk pastels.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6150546242388655933-4703061592663428106?l=larasportraits.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Larahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05306292622901352354noreply@blogger.com1
