Miranda

THis is a charmer I am lucky to know. She posed for me one day and this is the result. It captures her personality well. I used a reference photos so I could remember details more accurately. This is one of a series of many tof children I have done, but will not post all of them, as the number in the hundreds. I used my wacom tablet & pen (hooked to my computer) and Painter Classic sotware. I used a mixed media of airbrushes, pastels, and water to crete this soft bright blended look.

SO SWEET, ADORABLE, LOVELY...

Artist Reply: Thanks! She was so serious at first, and a bit shy, then got the giggles. I did this one, followed by ther other one I posted of her. She was laughing so much, I had to join in with her. I always let them look at the camera screen to chose the poses they like, and give feedback. One child had me paint her with, then without freckles. She has so many, she wanted to know what she looked like without them.

Amazing portraits of children..You seem to add a fourth dimension!

Artist Reply: Thank you so much! Children are fun to do, and I enjoy spending time working with them. Miranda was a good art student and very creative. She is very sweet and brimming with ideas. She loved to help me build new uses for large refrigerator cardboard boxes. We'd change what it was very few weeks. She did a great job making it into a flwering spring tee with birds.
