Reena Family Step by Step

Image
 This is a commissioned portrait of my Theresian classmate and childhood friend Reena's son Vince, wife Billie and baby daughter Charlie done on a 14" x 18" canvas with removable frame, ready for hanging. This is going to be her third painting from me. Chalk mapping with only 2 grid lines. Painting the sky light blue. Adding a tree trunk. Adding some palm leaves and more branches. Improving the branches and leaves. Brunailling the figures. Started painting Vince's face. Added adjustments on the face. Painted in the mother's face. Painted in baby Charlie. Made some adjustments to the clothing. Did the suit and some more. Adjusted Vince's face and Billie's top. Adjusted the baby's face. Final Artwork! Done! Last minute alterations. Softened the baby's face. Tapered Billie's dress.
