Description Link to original photo, of my daughter Blaire, by me: [link]

Primascolors on 18x24 inch paper (but it's not as big as the whole paper...)

Took me about 10 hours, maybe?

This is my 3rd colored portrait ever. I really like how the jeans turned out and I'm happy that I'm learning how to do colors!

The colors are so cheerful and vivid! It's like a photo, but better; it reminds me of scenes in which the colors are made rich and fuller to imitate a vision of heaven.

Realism nearly beyond discription.
Such intricate work and loving detail, You must have the paitence of a bodhisattva,
Stellar work.

Don't be so hard with you, dear! I love them both!
Working with colours is really hard, I tried and decided I'm not good at all with them what did you use?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kristymariethomas In reply to argentinian-queen [2006-08-09 16:52:05 +0000 UTC]

Berol Prismacolors, a pencil colorless blender, a pen colorless blender, and rubbing alcohol! (the alcohol is what made the colors so bright I think, but it's a great blender if you don't use too much and compensate for the way it brightens the colors - at least the green!)

Thanks so much darlin!

Oh! That is a huge difference in color, to say the least! Really like the bright coloration and the lighting.

Can't see why you hate the background, looks fine to me, but if you don't like it then I guess that is the most important view, since you actually created it.
