Portrait 29/100












I played with the reference photo in procreate, adding a semitransparent photo of flowers on top of the portrait. I erased out most of the flower photo that covered her face, leaving the flowers in the periphery. Thank you to "Mia :)" on the Museum app for the portrait reference. I added a few other colors to my regular lineup of 3 primaries and white. The visitors are veridian, cobalt violet, and burnt umber.  6x6” oil paint on Gessobord.

Here are some process shots (I painted on top of a previous still life painting):
