I am entirely please with the outcome of this portrait. The colours and detailing definitely bring something new and exciting to the table. My biggest struggle had to have been simply selecting what colours to use. Last minute I decided to change the colour of the hair from a natural brunette to a red head. I had to change certain aspects, like the hairline that MJ Lindo uses a lot, as well as the coloured hair to keep within her style. The wooden background enhances the hair and mimics its golden, blond colour beautifully. The technique I used for the shading was surprisingly easy to apply and produced a very soft blend of colours that MJ achieves with paint. I really enjoyed the process as it made me finally step into the world of colour that I have been avoiding for years. A close up of the details in this portrait can be found on my facebook page.
