Painting of a toddler face in detail on Terraskin
"Toddler Face"
on Terraskin
This photo was take when this little boy was two and a half years old. Painting children is my most favourite subject to paint. I love the innocence in their expressions and the delicate nature of the dewy texture of the skin. This piece was painted from a quick snaphot that I took without asking the child to pose. Unposed photos are really my favourite way to capture a child. This way you get the most natural expressions and also really see the personality and the feeling of the moment captured. He is ten years old now and this is still his serious face even though he has grown older and that is how I know I really captured his spirit.
The surface I painted this portrait on is Terraskin. It is quickly becoming my paper of choice. It really is a beautiful surface to work on and allows for beautiful depth and colour.
