Portrait of a Little Girl

[RobinZ]

Thought I'd share. I'm pretty pleased, being that I have painted less than a dozen humans and most of them were with dogs. I wasn't thrilled with the "school picture" pose, but it is a companion piece to her older sister's portrait by another painter (retired) painted years ago. I used a modified Zorn palette (I added french ultramarine). It's 16 x 20 on stretched canvas. I do sketch the features on the canvas first with oil based colored pencil, which is how I do my doggies.

Very nicely done Robin. You captured her happiness and sweetness here. I can tell what sort of little girl she is and the painting makes me happy.

Thank you! I admit smiled back at her when painting her! Just the "medicine" I needed during the lockdown, I had a hard time handli

Very well done Robin! Yes, I find myself mimicking expressions when I am painting portraits. Maybe that translates down to the hand. You did a beautiful job in any case.

Thank you so much, snoball! I wonder what I look like when I'm painting boxer dogs????????

I think and hope that all our intentions can translate down to the hand. I love that you mimic the expressions.

I also dance when I paint, often.
