Martina

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.

  2. This 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.
