Our Little Guy - Stage 1 - Acrylic on PaperSome of you may know, but I was not posting recently because I took a maternity leave. My hubby and I were blessed with the opportunity to foster (and hopefully adopt) this little guy, RX. I am currently at a convention in NYC, and instead of painting an abstract landscape like I normally do at a show, I decided to paint a portrait of our little guy for a Valentine's present for my husband. You get to see it before he does!
The lighting in the show is HORRIBLE, and I took this with my cell phone, but I always love to see works in progress, so why not! So far, I have been establishing the undertones and working on his eyes. (Yes, they really are that huge and he has the most incredible lashes! )Later I will smooth out his skin with some wet-in-wet blending, refine values and pump up color a bit. I used to focus on fihurative work, but it has been years since I have painted children.
