Very soon I will be demonstrating portraiture for my local art club, so I am practicing. This is my nephew when he was about two. The skin tone of children is brighter and fresher than adults, so I must keep that in mind when mixing my paints. Also their features sit differently on their faces than adults. If I paint what I see, I should be safe, but it is good to understand these principles in advance.
