Sara - a budding artist

This is day #4 in the 30 in 30 challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta.  Today I painted a quick sketch of Sara a neighbor of mine.  She graciously offered to sit for me a quite a while ago. I asked her just to sit and read a book so I could paint.  She is beautiful and has the most gorgeous hair…what a joy to paint!  I have several resource photos from the sitting.  

Below is the sketch I did of her before I started the painting.  

I am thoroughly enjoying this challenge.

  4. From the strands of hair on her face to the beautiful skin tones,and her gaze at her reading matter, I think you have captured a beauriful portrait of Sara.

  5. From the strands of her failling forward to those beautiful skin tobes and Sara's gaze toward her book with a focussed expression,I think you have captured your neighbor beautifully.
