Having a cute model is a good first step for a successful or at least pleasant portrait. So if the model is cute and the portrait is drawn half-way accurately then the job is assured of some level of success.
So I was happy to work on this portrait of our youngest daughter.
And this was another opportunity to work with flowing, beautiful hair.
The background is viridian over a yellow ochre base and which was then glazed thinly with ultramarine blue. It has a somewhat jewel-like quality. There is also some quinacridone glazed over the dress for contrast. It [the background] is slightly 'richer' or more saturated than the monitor indicates.
Katie likes it so I didn't alter the background very much after she gave approval.
Below slightly different camera settings.
