Paint Party Friday

This week I was determined to join in with PPF. So after a couple of busy days where no artwork got done I spent the afternoon in my art room.

I intended to create a portrait in a 'loose' style but yet again I just can't help refining things.

4 x 6 inch 
acrylic & oil pastel on watercolour paper

I first loosely painted her in acrylic and used oil pastel for her skin tone and shading. I then used watercolour pencil to enhance her eyes. Here is how she looked after just the acrylic paint.


If you compare her to the finished piece you can see why I looooooove oil pastels



THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.

    The portrait is so gorgeous! I love the tilt of her head and the lovely expression on her face. You have combined the different media in a most beautiful way.

    She looks a little shy... I like that. And she seems to be a private and modest young woman... I like that too.

    You did a lovely job.

    The looks out tentatively at the world like peeking out from behind a curtain. Very intriguing expression. Great job with the oil pastels as they can really get messy! Happy PPF

    This is totally beautiful! (I love coming here!) I wish I could be confident in oils! Love your girl's engaging eyes, and the dots on the dress causes interest too!
