What did I tell you? I said I’d finish them in a week, and amazingly enough, I did. In spite of Owen being sick, and my husband being away, I put the finishing touches on the portraits Friday night. Although I might have my husband retake the photos when he gets back, because Little brother is a bit blurry, and I’m not sure if the colors aren’t slightly off from the actual paintings. I think the paintings are a little bit brighter than their photos. Anyway, I’m really pleased with how the paintings turned out.
wow! I am not artist so I cannot imagine what it must be like to go through the process. You did a really great job!
You had me worried in the last posting about what you thought you could do with the lighting and then you did it!
Thanks Joanne. Yeah, I ended up just putting in a very subtle shadow on big brother’s face, that isn’t nearly as strong as it is in the photo. That’s the thing about painting from photos, you are too often tempted to simply copy them, but paintings and photos are different!
Kate,
I see what you mean, I love the finish product!!!!!
adorable
Thanks guys, glad you like them:)
