It started with a doodle - The making of Gracyn

​My first human portrait.

 The skin has always been a little scary to me, I guess that's why I have always been comfortable painting my furry friends.  A friend saw this photograph on my facebook page and encouraged me to paint it. So I played with a quick doodle and decided to give it a try.  My model is a little girl who I adore and I was very familiar with her beautiful little face.  Surprisingly... I actually had fun painting her! Now I love the challenge of painting people!
