Portrait painting

                                                     Portrait painting




We have been told to pick someone from our class to paint a portrait. I have chosen Grace from class to work on my portrait. Painting a portrait of Grace wasn't easy I had a lot of mistake and repainting the portrait. So I went on youtube watching the tutorial on how to paint a portrait learning some new skills to get that detail on the eye's and hair etc.. I also found a book at home How Frances o'farrel paint's portraits. I learn't a lot new skills from that amazing book. Working with oil paint wasn't that bad at all even though it was my first time painting a portrait I'm proud of myself finishing the portrait. I'm happy how it turned out the only thing that I would like to change is her colour make it lighter It was a bit too dark and the checks is a little bit chubby the things that I was struggling with. I would plan before i go straight to it and rushing it not thinking about the colours that I'm going to mix to paint. I enjoy painting with the oil paint it's really smooth and soft and looking tone. I would love to learn more about painting portrait and oil paint it's so interesting.
