    Cathy - You did a fantastic job if this is only your first attempt at a person .. ppl are not easy to draw / paint!!

    Kudos for a job well done!

  2. Thanks :-)
    I did a couple of ladies, but in pencil and they were like 2" high and basically doodling, and of course I did a portrait of Elvis' face when he was young which took me forever, also in pencil. This, however is a whole different thing! Body, hands, the dress, shading etc. I was so nervous the whole time and think I painted her face over several times before I decided to let it alone..lol.
    So I consider this my first REAL attempt at a whole person with paint!
