I got commissioned by the child in this painting who is now an adult to paint an old image of herself and her mother. I enjoyed working on this piece because personally as an artist, i an drawn to things of the past, especially my childhood and I constantly engage in things that are nostalgic.
Her mother recently passed away, and i felt what she felt and do I transferred those emotions on canvas.
Below are few progress shots to this painting.
I painted in layers, using bright purple monochrome. I wanted a first layer thats similar to the final outlook
I began from the woman and then to the child
One of the reasons for me using the first layer technique is because i want a blueprint to the final painting, to establish tonal values that will guide me and also to make the final layer sit well.
I used a courier dispatch afterwards.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day
