12 years old, Maria Kovalenko Leysens


This is a pastel portrait that I just finished. I kept it loose and soft. It will be delivered after I fix the one detail that I just noticed. I often photograph my work to use for "proofreading."
For any ordering info contact me at my blog or etsy site

This guy looks so much like my nephew. I am going to tell my sister-in-law to take a look at this post.

This is a great painting, Maria. I also have found that pulling up a digital image on the computer is an excellent way to critique my own artwork - I also like to flip it horizontally to get the same effect as looking in a mirror for errors.

Great portrait, Maria. I like yours and Claire's tips on "proofreading" and "flipping". Thanks.
