My grandson will be here this weekend, he loves to model for me. I'll start doing more life studies.

Little Artist take two

I'm about halfway into it now. It took me three days to get the guts to wipe it off, but once I started it was gone i a flash.

Thanks Michele, he's congruent now. I'll try to post an update tomorrow if the weather cooperates. Now I'm glad you all jumped on me, I have a strong blue/orange color scheme now.

Jean,
I know nothing about color except that viewing both of your paintings, I definately like this one better. You were BRAVE to wipe of what you had done and it looks to me like it was for the best Can't wait to see it finished!

BTW Adorable little boy!!

Yes Pat, it was hard, so I decided to just wipe off the background. I went outside and sat on the ground and started gently rubbing on the background, then got into it, took a wet rag and went at it. If I would have known how easy it was I would have done it sooner. I was most surprised to see my drawing emerge. I figured it would be lomg gone!

Jean

I like this better too.

I'm ready to call this done. Thanks every one for the suggestions, Nick modeled today for the final touches. I'm still not happy with the drawing (Nick's drawing) but I have another project coming up that I need to work on. If I do this again I will paint it as there was detail I couldn't do with pastel.
