Portrait Project, Week 4

3/4/2019

My studio is filling up with faces and loads of color! It is truly a joy to be in this space during this snowy-white winter we're currently experiencing in Minnesota.

This week I changed my plan a bit since I wasn't able to start the final two portraits of my Portrait Project as I had hoped. So, while waiting for photos of the twins to arrive in my inbox, I added more details to some of the portraits I already have in progress.

Abigail

I also chose another subject to add to the project since I was getting antsy without a portrait to start! So, here's my progress on Abigail this past week.

What comes next?

I'm also considering what my next step will be after this Portrait Project comes to an end. I definitely don't want to stop making portraits. I think I'm learning quite a bit, discovering my style, and getting into a groove. I especially love to see the faces as they emerge from a black page.

Please let me know if I can make a portrait for you!
