She certainly has a lovely fresh feeling and you can feel her personality. I am becoming more enamored of the so called imperfections and quirks of work that is done from life. That maybe an excuse to dodge my own errors.
I have had this experience with a wiggly 9 year old. She would sit for 30 seconds and jump up in her seat to tell me something! I wanted to portray her wonderful sponteneaityand lively skin tones that I thought a photo would never show. I came up with an acceptable (to me) compromise. I took a photo of the pose, blew it up and placed it to the right of my canvas, she was seated on the left. I used the photo for sanity, drawing and the pose and grabbed as much as I could color-wise from the model. I referred to the photo as "good Ashley" and to her as "bad Ashley". She went along with it and thought it was a giggle!
Hope this helps!
