Portrait in Oils - Step Five and Finished!
I will be giving this portrait to May Lan's mom on Sunday, so I can't really post this until Monday afternoon!
In Step Five and Finished I worked on details. I finished up baby's eyes, hair, skin and added more shadow details to her dress. I touched up the field of flowers a bit, too. You many notice that the face contains a lot of detail and the rest of the painting is in an (unfocused) Impressionistic style. Many artist use this technique to cause the viewer to focus on the most important part of the art work. Such a cute baby!
