16/100: Brazilian girl

The third portrait. This one is by far my favorite. My professor told me not to glaze this one, and I'm so glad! I referred to a picture I had taken of a little girl at my nephew 2nd birthday party. Since my sister-in-law is Brazilian, many of the guests were Brazilian as well. I thought this girl was so lovely, and got a great photograph, and I'm super happy with the end result. Buuuut....I'm embarrassed I don't know her name...Barbara--do you know??

15/100: Sarah

The second of the the three portraits. I was more content with this one. The glazing was a technique I'd never done before signing up for this class, and it gives the pieces a nice look. However, this one also turned out kinda "dark." But I feel like this is a pretty good rendering of my roomate "Sarita."

14/16: Joyce

This is a portrait of my aunt that I made in my figure painting class. We had to do 3 portraits, and this is the first one I did. I feel like this made a good "practice" piece. We had to wash the painting over with a dark tinted glaze, so it gives this piece a darker feeling that I didn't intend. Especially because my aunt Joyce is one of the sweetest ladies on the planet. But I was able to learn how to get a handle with oil paints by doing this piece, which is a definite plus.
