Facelift?

 

 

I wish I could find the original painting of this girl. LOL!!  I did her last year, and she was on a stack, along with many others, of old pieces that need a face lift. Now, knowing me, I may look at her in a few weeks and see something that makes me think she still needs some work, but for now, I think she is finished!! Funny, how your tastes changes too. I am sure that at the time I painted her, I thought she must have looked pretty good. But after closer looks, a few months, later… that was not the case!!

 

So, I used some new ideas that I have been practicing with, some facial ideas…. and then, my very favorite new supply…. white oil stick!! I love that thing!! When I am finished with the backgrounds or the subject, I just rub a bit of that on the picture then smear it around with my finger and it instantly blends things together…. What a discovery!! Now, it does take a bit longer to dry, but that is ok with me… another favorite, almost as much, is a hot pink oil stick… As you can tell in this little girls face, I used that for the highlight on her cheeks and her hair ties. I put some on her lips but then calmed it down a bit with the white.

 

So, here she is, all face lifted and ready to go….
