Ok, first off....I know this portrait does not look exactly like her, but please keep in mind....that I painted this on a card no bigger than 2.5" by 3.5". Yes, that is right.....someone in a drawing group told me about artist trading cards.....and I guess you have to create tiny works of art. I have never painted a portrait this small, and it does make it difficult to get the details right.
Also, this is my first time using the gouache paints. I liked the watercolors that much, that I wanted to try gouache as well.....which I guess it supposed to somewhat like the watercolors....only thing is, they seem to dry a bit faster. I was not used to that, but I will adapt in time I guess.
Anyway, this was my first ATC ( artist trading card ) that I completed. I think it turned out ok for being so small, and being the first one I painted.
