"Sarah"


I've always wanted to paint red hair and I finally got my chance. This little girl has the most beautiful hair color. In my resource photo, she had braces and they were showing. I made the decision not to paint them but I'm wondering if that was a good decision because the braces have a lot to do with the way the mouth is shaped. Does that make sense without the braces showing? I don't know yet. I would love to hear feedback about this.

The girl is very radiant and a very curious young adult. Your painting has a lot of heart and is very lively. Beautiful work.

Very Beautiful indeed! I did a red head last week but never could figure out how to get those freckles to come out right!
