Painting For A Friend (Part 2)
Following on from my last post on this topic, I have worked on the painting a little more, taking into account all of Lee’s feedback and ideas and have done the following:
- I spent time on the hair to create extra length as requested
- Created greater diversity in the colours in Lee’s hair. Her hair ranges from a lovely caramel through to blonde so I built the base caramel up originally and went back to add the highlighted colour after. (I still have another layer to go)
- I worked on widening her jaw line a little. Her face was a little too skinny in the oringinal so i added some width.
- I slightly changed the shape of her eyes and will still work more on these before the painting is complete. Sometimes it takes me a few re-works before I hit the mark, but it’s lovely when it finally happens!
The following photos are photo one (first layer) and photo two (second layer and reworks).
I will post the final photo of this painting when she is complete, then I am on my way up to Qld to deliver Lee’s painting, see family and friends, and feel what it’s like to be warm again … lovely!
I have another commission booked for when this one is finished – I will keep you posted.

I agree, I wish more people had this point of view.
