Finally finished faffing about with my little portrait of my young niece. It’s taken me ages because I just couldn’t decide when it was finished and I kept faffing with it. I started with some preliminary sketches then built up the painting in layers, using Liquitex acrylics onto stretched canvas. I worked from photos and at one stage was working with the photo and canvas upside down which made it easier to get a good likeness.
Finished!!!!

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D View more posts

Congratulations! The painting has a wonderful Vuillard vibe. Lucky niece!
