My kindle was out of juice, so I didn’t have my reference photos and ended up snagging a photo off the shelves to paint.
I turned out all right, but something went horribly wrong with mom’s face, as evidenced by my husband saying ‘is that supposed to be your mom?’.
*facepalm*
Plus the gouache is cracking in places.
But it’s not a bad first attempt!
I’ll sketch over her face and try again in a few days. Her original photo is nearly black and white with age, but I’ll try upping the saturation too. *smile*
Both photos were taken in the same church, at our weddings, in the same pose, nearly 30 years apart.
I like the pictures. I can imagine myself doing this pose 39 years ago.
Ha!
