| The finished portrait. I met these three to photograph them so I was able to set this pose up. |
 |
| My line drawing transferred onto velour |
 |
| Blocking in the dark areas |
 |
| Focusing on the girl’s face as she will be behind most of the layers. |
 |
| My setup…I like to have a desk top easel so I can have the colours I’m using right in front of me. |
 |
| Working in the shirt background to the dogs creating really dark areas to make the contrasts high. |
 |
| This means these foreground characters really stand out |
 |
| The final layer is the girl’s arms in the very foreground which encloses the group nicely. |
 |
| Two sweet faces in protective arms. |
Hey Emma! I just wanted to let you know I'm here…lol! Love your blog and you're giving us a look at how you paint from beginning to end! I see you highly detail your drawings and I appraciate knowing that. It will definitely help me. <3
Hey Karla, I'm so glad someone finds it helpful! It's become a bit of an obsession to document everything as I go so I feel I should use it, so here it is! Will keep posting 🙂
