New Painting
 
 
Acrylic on brown paper canvas.
This is the first of a new set, I'm starting small, this canvas is 300x400mm (12x15")
I want to play around with shadow and a dark background.
I've started with a red pastel brief sketch.
 
Just in case you are confused, it is intended to be a painting of a girl holding her hand above her brow. I'd like her to have either antlers or tree branches looking like antlers and a basket of some sort in her arms.
 
I'm really looking forward to working on her more - certainly looking a bit basic at the moment as I start on her skin tones.

Glad to see your comment, Naomi, thanks for visiting me. I've missed seeing your works in progress over the last while, always so inspiring - detail added as message develops over time. Can't wait to see more as this one grows (though I wouldn't call 30 x 40 small by any means) Enjoy.

my goodness!
Thank goodness you mentioned the measurements! It's 30x40cm - 12x15" (inches).
I'm a metric girl - SORRY!
