Gilly 20x30cm Oil on canvas
This a relatively new path for me. I would really like to explore portraiture more but it is a big ask to expect someone to sit for you for 2 or 3 hours. Photographs are just not the same. This small portrait is an image of my youngest daughter. I read somewhere that if you can get the eyes, nose and mouth in correct relationship and proportions then you have the face.......everything else is extraneous.
I have painted this from a photograph, thinking that the handicap of doing so might be offset by my familiarity with the face. It was a good exercise.
