| "Kim" 9" x 12" pencil portrait |
My beautiful daughter posed for me a couple of years ago so that I could do her portrait. At the time, I was going to try painting her in oils, after an artist I admire - PINO. But when I was looking for another pencil portrait subject, I thought that this would be a perfect pose to show the light and shadow on her face. If you notice, there is a very distinct line of shadow which helps to form the planes of her face. As one person said to me, "She is drop-dead gorgeous!" I hope you agree when you see this portrait, or I have not done her justice at all. :-)
