Child Portrait in watercolor, the start by artist Linda Young


The start of a child's portrait from a small photograph shown above.  This is the first stage and more work will be done on the face and hair later on.  Next comes the request tonight by the client for me to put the Steelers logo on the shirt.  Talk about a challenge!  It's time to take a break from this for awhile.  I've got a headache just thinking about that logo!

This is a challenging commission. I am looking forward to seeing your progress.
Just a suggestion...maybe you can find someone with a Steelers shirt and photograph them wearing it in a similar pose.

I searched the internet and found the logo but...
Lucky me; the client changed her mind about the logo. After she and I talked, I believe she began thinking about what she wanted people to look at...the logo or her grandson.
The grandson won. Pressing onward!
