Kitchen sink bath fun

This is a tradion in our family, at least for 5 generations. We give baths in the kitchen sinks where you can stand up while bathing the baby. We can all see the fun and enjoy the experience almost as much as the baby. My granddaughter sure didn't mind. It was worth all the puddles. I used my wacom tablet and pen, using Painter IX software to paint this portrait. I used a photo for referrence only so I could figure out the lighting and the bubbles. The bubbles drove me nuts, because I did them myself, instead of using a buble type tool. Still, I'm pleased with the results, even if the blending on this one was hard on my hand. I used air brushes, pastels, chalks, blending tools, and adjusted them to get the effects of this painting. Not a manipulated photo, painted from a blank canvas.

Artist Reply: Lots of daily practice and studying from looking. I scroll up my work often to see goofs I am making and work on it. I split screen if there are refernce photos to work from as well for better accuracy with lighting and porportining features. Always trying new mixes of brushes, blenders, and mediums as well. Doing bubbles were the hardest for me in this one. I did them all one at a time, and without a bublbe effect to help. It helped me begin to learn to work on them. Still am in other works, as many have noticed. LOL

Artist Reply: Thank you! She is a wonderful baby. Not even being partial, I worked with hundreds of babies in my day jobs over the years. She is such a happy sweet girl.

Artist Reply: Thanks TIff! She had so much fun, it was hard to get her out. She'd stayed in all day if we had let her.

Artist Reply: Thank you! I use a lot of Corel products and like you can download them for free tails first. That way I've time to try them before buying. I want to get an updated Wacom tablet when I can. I'm goning to wear out my old one eventually.

Artist Reply: Thank you! I do as well. It makes i so much easier. In the warmer parts of the year, I used o give my babies a sink bath after eating messing foods. I jus t have to watch out when the figure out what the sprayer hose is as they start spraying it madly everywhere.
