Completed Portrait

See how Kita's portrait came together

The first stages appear quite rough and loose as I lay down the important foundations for the layering process. Ensuring the markings are placed in the exact areas is the most important part of any portrait.  Once this layer has been placed, I am then able to continue layering up to the final, highly detailed layers and finishing off with a couple of applications of UV satin varnish to aid protection for many years to come.

Hi Karen,
I just wanted you to know that I absolutely love my painting of Kita.  Thank you so much, you have done the most amazing portrait of him. He was my best friend and my little boy and the painting has been hung in the living room so we can all admire him everyday! Thank you again xx
