Hello everybody!
This is a new commission that I am near (hopefully) to completing.
The photo that the parents gave to me is still in a frame and they don't want me to take it out of the frame, this made it difficult for me to scan or photograph to enable me to send the photo to you so please forgive the low quality photo.
I feel that the girl's face looks very posed, both in the photo and the painting, whereas the boy in contrast looks very relaxed, both facially and in his pose. I don't think that I will be able to do anything about that one because the photo is a year old now and any photo's that I may take would be obvious to the parents if I used them. Children's faces change so much in a year.
The other problem that I have is that the boy's jumper could keep me busy for the next few days if I went into detail. It is very sketchy at the moment, with a lot of the underpainting showing through. I quite like it at this stage and I feel that just a little 'tidying up' would be sufficient and I should leave it quite loose.
I would be very grateful for any advice/comments on how I might improve it .
