I thought I’d do something a little different today, so I took some progress shots as I went along. I pretty much knew this was going to be a pink tonal portrait from the beginning. 

I almost wish I had stopped at this stage because I really like it, but I kept going..

For some reason I had the words “Where Do You Start, Where Do I Begin?” in my head the whole time I was painting. I swear it’s song lyrics, but Duck Duck Go didn’t give me any results when I searched. hm..

 The paint was getting quite layered and thick at this point. 

Finished her off with some colored pencils I’m glad I took these progress shots because I think my iPhone picked up the intense layers better than my Nikon did in the finished photo at the top. I must try to remember to take progress shots more often. I must. I’m usually so far into my own head that I never think of it, tho.
