New mother and son




I started this one last night and worked way too late. I'm trying William Whitaker's Nupastel technique, but got carried away (again) and added more colors. I think I have to do much more blending and lightening of mom and son's face and skin tones. Now I'm wondering if I should go back to all earth tones ( the browns and reds) ditch the gold tones in her sweater and use soft beige in the baby's garment.

This is my step-daughter Alice and her new son JD. I took this photo when he was 2 weeks old. I'd like this to be an heirloom for my husband so am willing to start over if neccessary. Your guidance will be sincerely appreciated.

Jean
