Head Study by Texas Artist Judy Crowe

This is a head study I did last Friday in the portrait session that I have been involved with at the Woodlands Art League.  It's a great opportunity to get with other artists and share ideas and to practice painting the face or figure.  This is not my forte' of course...I really want to get a lot better at painting portraits but I try and I learn as I am going.  This young woman's name is Rhonda and she did a great job sitting for us which is not an easy task.  I told Rhonda I would post it so that her mom and fiance' could see the painting. Rhonda thought it looked like her so I am happy that I was able to get a likeness but my main goal is to get a nice painting.   Now that I have posted it, I can see there are a couple of things I should do next time- for instance the shadow side of Rhonda's face should softened a bit I think.  Take care, happy Sunday and thanks for visiting my blog.
