Picture portraits I’ve done for others
Using colored pencils, I did my best to capture a moment of Lizzy’s laughter. I have no experience with this medium and felt like an incompetent child most of the time I was working on the project. Still, the colors were a lot of fun to play with and even though it was a challenge, it depicts what it was meant to: a vibrant girl enjoying life in the Northwest. It doesn’t get much better than that.
2013 has arrived and Lydia and Sarah are the same as ever. They’re practically the embodiment of smiles and theatrics. As we ventured around the heart of our wintery hometown I found myself wishing I was making a video instead of just a photoshoot. You can’t quite capture these girls without audio. They like to be heard! Here’s just a little sampling of the session. I hope you all enjoy 🙂 And thank you Lydia and Sarah for being such colorful models!
My gorgeous friend Abby disguised as Grace Ferrel from the musical Annie. She’s rocking a scarlet suit and holding a carnation she recieved for her amazing performance. It was too perfect not to paint.
(As a side note: This watercolor is the final instalment in my “Perspective Portraits” project. It’s been a fun semester!)
With a warm smile and bright eyes, it’s hard for Martha not to be cute. She was kind enough to model for me as I took on the challenge of pastels. Thank you my little Ethiopian beauty!
(And although I usually avoid saying this: it looks better in person! As does the model 😉 )
Pen and ink means bold. No erasers. No regrets. So much fun!
A couple sketches of lovely Lizzie for my Perspective Portraits Project.
The goal was simply to capture what I saw: a little boy, sitting in the sunshine, after a long nap.
This is the first from my Art Perspectives Project. I will be drawing the same subject from various angles. These are just sketches with a touch of watercolor.
Two pictures. One face. One pair of feet. Enjoy!
