GETTING BACK IN THE GROOVE

After watching videos on the ALL ABOUT NORAH ning I thought I would bite the bullet and paint the sketch I did the other day... so I added a background and then sketched the girl on to it.
This is on a piece of drawing board 17" x 13"

I then used a Paper Whimsy image and transferred it on to the board.

Next was building up the colour on the girl, she originally had brown hair but I didn't like it so
changed it, it gave her a lift I feel.

I then picked colours I don't normally use to add more colour to the piece. Looking at it the face

needs to be developed more so I shall go back in to it tomorrow, I find sometimes it is best to 

step away from a piece.

I added this pretty daisy napkin, randomly torn and stuck down to give the picture a bit
more vibrancy,  am pleased with her and once I have done some tweaking she will be done.
I feel happy that I painted today, it was a great feeling...

Thanks for dropping by
Hugs, Dawn
