Missy

This was one of my former students. She was a elegant beauty with a beautiful inner beauty to match. So sweet, she could have been a rose. This was done using mostly airbrushes, and pastels, and blended to make it smooth with water as a blending brush. I used my wacom tablet & stylus pen. This was done by hand, not a manipulated photo. Photos were used as references only to be more accurate as I paint. (My memory is not that great, so need some reminders as to eye shape, skin tones, etc.

Artist Reply: Thank you! I loved the cute outfit she wore for her pose. I thought the sleeves would be tougher, but was able to get it. She was a wonderful subject to do.

your portraits of your kids are absolutely gorgeous! you really captured her personality. i've done the same with photoshop, just playing around to learn. took me a few years, but then it just all gelled and made sense...

Artist Reply: Thank you Jimmie! I don't have photoshop, but do use Painter Classic and PainterIX. Might get around to Photoshop one day. Would like to learn how to montage some photos, but for now, happy to keep learning how to paint with all the mediums and brushes in the software I have. It would be fun to see if I could get the same effects without all the tedious blending I do now. Still, I'll probably still do it all by hand forportraits, as I find it relaxing and so far, my hands can tolerate the work.
