I have to catch up with portraits of my granddaughter before she thinks I like her brother better, since I have done more images of him! And she lets me know it, too! Reminds me of someone.:-))) At four years, she is quite the little bossy pants. But then so was her grandma.

Most of the time I prefer to work from life but with children,
a  photo will do.
It is also possible to get really wonderful candids to work from,
since kids can be very wary of the invasive camera when asked to "sit".
I created this oil painting from a photo that I used
 for a watercolor study last year.
See left. It took a year of looking and

more practice with color and children's faces to get to this stage.
This little piece took way longer than I would invest in an alla prima
but the subtlety required it and the layers of glazing as well.

I love painting people.
