The Gaze-Child Portrait

 Close ups

This is acrylic, graphite, colored pencil, and a dab of ink via Uni Pin on Cotman Water Colour pad.
Approx.9"x7".

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Mary was the host and provided a bunch of great photos! Mary issued a challenge to do this week's painting on a surface you have not painted on before..... So this is in answer to the challenge. Though I have painted in this pad a few times, it's still comparatively new to me.
The girl is Felicity.... Felicity's gaze really spoke to me.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!

 Matthew 19:13-15         Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” And he laid his hands on them and went away.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Gail was the great hostess who supplied all the reference photos. Thanks, Gail !

 The joy of childhood seemed a great subject...so I went with the little splasher.

I wrangled myself clear out of my comfort zone, and decided to experiment with ink and acrylics. I drew and painted over a rough application of gesso. I used Uni Pin and thinned acrylic.
Nothing went according to plan...mainly because I had no plan...
