| "Blossom's Promise: Blue Bird" acrylic on canvas featuring cherry blossoms, branches and lots of hair 46x38 cm |
I think her hair was a real treat to paint, though intimidating at first...I think its what makes me happiest at this point ^^
Her hands were the next greatest challenge... I spent a good 4 hours or so working and reworking them. But gosh the time goes by so fast when youre painting, I barely even noticed! In the end I think I am getting better and better at painting hands...but I cant wait for Mariannes anatomy classes in January so I can do a better job of drawing them straight from imagination.
