Barbie

This was painted during the January Dailies Challenge. Painting from life. It's an oil painting on cardboard and small size.

Cool study.

Barbie looks great, Grapes! You did such nice work with her hair. I had one Barbie when I was young and for some reason I gave her a haircut and it didn't go well.

Thanks, Wayne!
Donna, thanks! I can imagine the haircut, lol. You don't have the barbie anymore? I'm glad I still have this doll so I can now use it as a model. This is actually almost the only doll I had in my childhood because I didn't like dolls. Instead I had a mountain of soft creatures of all kinds.

I love the way you painted the feet and the shadow.

Hermes, thank you!

Very nicely place highlights and overall proportions. Amazing that you can do so well so quickly.

BTW, I was a fastidious child, and saved my Barbies and their outfits. I got lucky and some items (especially one outfit) was rare and sold for quite a sum on eBay.

Thanks, Joy!
That's a good advice, thank you, when I'm done painting this barbie with all her outfits I will do the same sell it on ebay.
