This is Martina, a girl Daya dances with.
I took pictures at the studio picture day and I took this picture of Martina. The lighting was perfect and she is just gorgeous. She is in full stage makeup including fake eyelashes which was a challenge.
Even though it is my picture, I did ask her mom if I could paint her.
I painted this in about three sittings over a 24 hour period.
11x14 oil
Here are a couple of progress shots.
Wow - what a beautiful portrait!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous. Not only is it a portrait I see some personality there too. Good light too. I would like to know her Mom's reaction.
ReplyDeleteHer mom loved it! :)
DeleteI had no doubt she would love it. So well done.
