| Sketch on canvas |
Weddings are such a wonderful thing! As a challenge to myself and an attempt at a nice gift, I turned my brush to another portrait. I have done a portrait from my own wedding, but it was more distant; less detailed. This choice of photo was based off of my friend's photographer and her perception that this was a favorite of the newly married couple's.... Much to my dismay at the potential challenges the photo would present!
My first thought was to tell her to pick the second favorite!! I didn't think I could pull it off. This was going to be tough! But I figure if it flopped, I could send a different gift, and they would never know! It was worth it to try!
This took two weeks to complete... working on it for two hours every other day or so... My most time-consuming piece... but well worth it! I learned so much painting this!! The results speak for themselves and I wouldn't hesitate to state this as my best work to date!
