Photo reference and many thanks
Here is the photo reference for the painting. I had to take a digital of the enlarged shot since the original was taken with my Nikon and not developed on a picture CD. I usually have all my film developed as a CD now so I can upload to the internet and my computer. At least it shows what I had to work with. This photo was taken before I really started reading a lot about "good and bad" photo references. I know use portra film with foamboard as a relector in the shadow side of my subjects' faces.
Mari,
Thank you so much for all your very valuable advice/feedback. I really needed to hear any and all advice! I appreciate greatly your taking the time in a timely manner also. Thanks to you - I painted for about 2 hours tonight after work, even though I knew I couldn't work on the background. I will post the progress on the face after the photo reference.
I hope to have it nearly finished by the weekend's end. That is if I don't completely wipe it away first! I've been known.....
Cynthia - thank you for the photo advice too but I was not able to do a thing differently.
