The little guy who made my sister a mommy also makes me try the occasional whimsical portrait in my art practice. Very daunting...
But
when mommy sent a pic of little J "helping" spread plants in the greenhouses (yes, several feet apart instead of inches),
it just looked like a Mother's Day gift waiting to be painted!
Preliminary sketch
2nd version
3rd version
Since
my attempts at facial features turned it into someone other than our
particular 1.5 year old, I left them out of my third try. Each
version is on very different papers, so the results can't quite be
compared, but they taught me more about various techniques and water
usage.
Which version do you think my sister picked as her Mother's Day gift?!
