This month marks two years since my first portrait painting workshop. Amazing how time flies! And although I've painted this model quite a few times, it's always nice to revisit a familiar face - especially one with such lovely coloring. I've got pinks, peaches, greens, lavenders, and orangey-browns in those flesh tones - all mixed from three tubes of paint!
My work-in-progress shows how I painted the face out beyond the contour lines, and then re-drew that edge with the darks in the hair. I also painted the setting of the eye before putting too much detail into the eye itself.
And the ear - well, I got that on there early and then left it alone, because this.

I'm going to print that quote off and put it up somewhere. We all know it yet I at least often have to wrestle with myself to leave out the detail even though I love other artists' paintings that leave my brain some work to do. This has a lovely stillness, Sarah.
Thank you, Caroline! I totally agree with you about the wrestling with yourself. It feels like that sometimes!
