This
was originally a sketch of my neighbour's granddaughter enjoying the
sun last summer. Brenda insisted that she was to wear the
gardening hat. She finally did after she had stripped the band of all
the plastic flowers Brenda had attached over the years! They laid
strewn around the deck chair, needless to say her granddaughter had
to attach them again before she went home.
For
the hat and hair I let the original pencil lines show through the
thin wash as I have not the confidence to do such detail in acrylic.
On reflection, I think the pencil lines adds a depth? Of course this
has to be called The Hat! Think
I will give this painting to Brenda as she has been and is a
wonderful neighbour.

Oh my you are good! Thanks for sharing such a nice post ^.^
ReplyDeleteSharon this is a gorgeous painting.
ReplyDeleteDid you set up a separate blog for your 29 faces?
Wondering how to do this challenge.
Thank you, Go to ilove2paint.blogspot.com and click on 29 faces and the full instructions are there. You don't have to have a separate blog, you just need to make sure your label is 29faces and when people click on the link you get all the posts in that series. Good Luck, it is fun and mind stretching as well.
DeleteThis is so sweet! Love her relaxed pose and great soft colors. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of the faces that you've shown so far!
ReplyDeleteI think the pencil lines showing through are great in this one (And, what a great story to go with your painting)!
