Standfirst: The first lady is from a personal project of mine, and there are a lot of "how to" painting videos using her as an example in my Absolute Beginners workshop. :) I am also really happy to mention that it was selected for the Spectrum: Celebrating Diversity gallery show in Los Angeles, happening this summer. <3
General thoughts:
This is some sort of a recap since I am currently working on a lot of new stuff that has nothing to do with portraits... of... cute girls. XD
This means the era of portraits is once again coming to an end for me. (With one "final" post still waiting in the backlog).
Painting portraits used to be my favorite thing to do, but as you can see, I had times when I painted a lot and at other times I was "oversaturated" and painted none at all.
Since I already posted a lot of portraits here, I was seeking to post examples of work that hasn't been a part of these galleries yet.
