Commissioned Portrait of Agustina, Supply and Instructions.

Tags

Cary, Child Portrait, Clina Polloni, Commissioned Portraits, Durham, NC, Painting Classes, Raleigh, Wake Forest

Agustina is intrigue asking about the white swan and the swan is looking at her.

This painting is about portraying the innocence of a four year old little girl curious about a white swan.

When painting a child, the most important thing is the expression of the eyes and to achieve the delicate soft skin of a child. The best technique is blending and blending.

Instructions:

1. Cover the canvas with a light coat of Raw Sienna, using acrylic.
2. Draw Agustina and the swan with a pencil.
3. Do your under-paint in acrylics because they dry faster. The under paint is very important because you are defining your drawing with colors and defining light and shade in your final painting.
4. Using oils, paint the swan and the reflections in the water, including the water.
5. Using oils start painting the skin of Agustina, blending light and shade to the color of the skin. Repeat the process as many times as it is necessary to create a soft skin.
6. Paint her eyebrows and hair.
7. Sign your work of art.
