At the start of #FacetoFaceWorkshop - I did this pencil drawing! Just for practice!
I knew I wanted to paint her at some stage...
So I drew her up on a 10"x14" canvas and just left it #InMyStudio
It's one of my main aims in the next while to finish my unfinished pieces, so this morning,
I picked her up... I didn't mean to start her and I certainly wasn't inspired to paint her and I can't even say I was in the mood to paint...
And the next minute she flowed right out of my brush - literally!
She feels kind of old fashioned and as Digby's cousin said - a little Grace Kelley'ish!
So I've aptly called her Grace!
I love how my GraphiteDrawing inspired this and yet they look so completely different.
Everything is different, the lips, nose, hair and mouth!
But I assure you when she was drawn up on canvas - she looked really similar!
I love how adding the paint can just change everything!
Today I not only surprised myself but also my hubby!
And that always feels good!
Can't wait to finish her!
Exciting to feel the flow. Isn't it. She is beautiful and yes Grace Kelley'ish.
