This is a very sweet little girl I once taught named Bryanna. She's kind, sweet, and quiet, but full of fun and giggles. She was always such a sweetie and helped others around her. This one you always knew how she was feeling, and seldom ever in a mood other than happy. I painted this charmer using my Wacom tablet & Stylus pen, using Painter Classic and updated with Painter IX. I used pastels, airbrush layers blended with water and other soft blending tools, adjusting frequently sizes, saturation, bleeding,etc. to get the soft look in this portrait. Not a manipulated photo, I use photos I took for referrence only. Started with a blank screen canvas.

Terry, another great portrait. This subject has a bit of an enigmatic look on her face and coy. Goodness what a great portrait. Miguel
