I’m starting a portrait painting of my goddaughter Megan and I’m working from a digital photo that I took a few years back..Ever since discussing the works of Chuck Close in art class I have been interested in trying a large full faced portrait. Although the technique of Chuck Close is astonishing, it is simply far beyond my skill level. Still a portrait painting of this size (24"x24") is a big challenge for me, and the fact that it is of a family member will make it that much harder. Capturing the likeness of someone everyone knows is a very difficult thing to do. It would be much safer to paint a portrait of a total stranger but I’m stepping out of my comfort zone here. So go easy on me Megan !
