Lots of Locks
Hi! Here is a recent pastel commission. It had been a while since I had to paint such curly hair. What a bear (but boy am I jealous). When I took photos of the little girl she was wearing a long sleeved t-shirt without a collar so I invented a dress which is a bit more timeless and more feminine for such a sweet face. Pastels on Ampersand Pastelbord. 16" X 20". Thank you for peeking.
Edit: I notice the photo of the portrait looks a bit orange but when I color corrrected for that everything else went haywire. Use your imagination and desaturate the face a bit in your mind if possible.

Hi Lisa--
She's lovely. You've captured those weightless curls some kids have so well. Beautiful eyes.

Ngaire, Terri, Mike, Mary, and Julie, thank you all so much! After I posted I thought, "What a chicken I am! I probably should have posted in the critique section." Next time I will do that. I've learned so much here so far.
Okay Mike, you have my heart now. This is one of very few portraits I have done with natural lighting-no flash. I think it has made a difference and I realized how important it was when I joined SOG.
Terri, yes those weightless curls. They are however quite a pain. It's amazing how where and how the curls fall affects the likeness in my opinion.
Thanks to all of you. In spite of the rain here I might actually have a great day!

Lisa, this turned out very nice. Do you give lessons in "how to paint locks"?

Lisa,
Beautiful job!
Next time you do such a head of hair, why don't you photograph the stepsalong the way to do a mini-demo?

Beautiful
Looks fantastic! I have some of that ampersand pastel board but have never used it. I'm anxious to try it. I heard that it really is nice to work on and the pastel adheres very well.
