Working On It

It seems the past few days when I am looking forward to my daughters nap time it's been very delayed. She's really testing my husband and I lately with going down for nap and bedtime. Even though nap started very late today I still pulled out the paints. No more excuses right! I knew once I started to paint it would just flow. If it didn't flow I would just throw it out the window.

 

 It has been forever since I have painted with acrylics. Acrylics dry so fast, plus the sett up and clean up took a bit of time. Once I started I was in my comfort zone. The past year or so I have focused on getting better at watercolors. Well watercolors stress me out. Acrylics make me very zen. 

5 hours later I had ever bit of white covered. My main goal for the day was to just get an underpainting. I could stop at an underpainting. Still have lots more detail to add in. The face is at the stage that I like it but want to fix some and make it look more realist yet I'm scared to mess it up. The lips need major work. The neck shadows I'm not happy with either but I'll need to dwell on them more. The background is just a base so it'll be worked on too. Not too sure what to do with the section in front of her...detailed leaves, or not detailed leaves.
