I’m working on a new portrait of my great-niece. She’s got attitude. I did the preliminary sketch a couple of weeks ago (here). I found a canvas with a failed painting on it and covered it in a thin layer of magenta Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint, letting some of the discarded painting come through. Then I used my drawing as reference to quickly scribble the composition in a thin wash of dioxazine purple.

Thanks Lois. This is just the beginning – lots more to do. It really sums her up already though 😀
Crikey, this is brilliant! So expressive! I love it!
