And I have my first face for 29 Faces! Started off as a quick sketch, but actually took me most of the day. Here is a pastel portrait of my youngest daughter, two and a half year old Izzy.
Izzy, soft pastel on canson paper, approx. 210 x 297mm
It has its problems, including still being slightly cross-eyed…I might go back and fiddle with that…but I’m sick of fiddling. I gotta call it. Though Hubby says we can hang it up on the wall, so I better fix it otherwise it will drive me nuts.
It is only my second ever pastel portrait so I might just list it off as educational. But I will hang it up anyway. It is time for me to stop thinking my work isn’t good enough!
And this is also my submission for Sunday Sketches this week. Don’t forget to drop on by to see the other sketchers, wonderful works in progress out there.
Best wishes,
Liz

You are so clever I so wish I could create portraits like that.

This is amazing. At first glance, I thought it was a photo. Beautiful shading and you’ve captured her impish look! I love the tongue out. My nephew has that expression a lot! 😉
Oh it’s so beautiful…I can’t do faces so I’m super impressed! I like to get rid of my paintings totally out of the house because otherwise they “BUG” me and I want to fix them all the time.
Beautiful, such an adorable and lovely piece. Wonderful work!
This is so realistic, you are so talented, wow!

Awesome portrait, beautifully done! Love the expression, so 2 year old! 🙂
You’ve done a wonderful job! It is simply beautiful. But I understand your frustration if it doesn’t meet your expectations – which must have to do with the exact likeness you are looking for – because it is an excellent rendering!
