Easter Girl Challenge


Easter Girl
8x6"
Oil

     This week's challenge was to paint the little girl on Easter Morning. The reference photo has cars, people, and trees behind her. We were supposed to simplify the background shapes, but I found painting the face on such a small canvas to be so challenging that I felt simplifying the shapes in the face to be demanding enough. Once again, the Challenge enabled me to do a thing I would not choose on my own.
