Day 16 is a funny little painting originally done by Georges de la Tour "The Fortune Teller" circa 1630. My painting is just one of the people in his original painting. It was a struggle for me to do so much blending and matching. I tend to paint fast and with large strokes.....this was the opposite!
I just like the expression on her face. Kind of like she knew it would take me awhile to paint her, so she is averting her eyes and has a little snicker at my lack of patience!
Getting in the darks and shadows......
Finishing her face and starting on her head scarf......
Head scarf is almost completed.....
I could of worked several more hours on this painting but as I am trying to keep these 6 x 6 inch paintings to 1 hour and I already had 2 1/2 on this one, I deemed it complete!
Here is Day 15's lovely little painting....
Berthe Morisote's self portrait as she was aging and showing her gray hair.
