Mckaela

This is Mckaela....she is my son-in-laws niece and such a sweet little girl that was so happy to pose for me.  Painting children isn't too easy, so I used a few photos in order to get that perfect reference picture.  I used Rembrandt as well as terry Ludwig pastels which has wonderful colors for the skin.

    Oh absolutely gorgeous Hilda. You certainly have a wonderful way with portraits friend. I think children would certainly be a difficult subject but you would never know it looking at Mckaela. Have a great weekend. Hugs!

    Not easy to capture the softness of young skin and you did it so perfectly. The hair is beautifully done and it almost takes attention away from her lovely eyes...almost but not quite!

    Hilda, qué niña más hermosa y... claro, con tu arte, has conseguido que no pierda esa belleza. No tienes dificultades cuando se trata de una figura retrato. Los pintas siempre bien y en el caso, siendo una niña encantadora, estás más motivada para que quede aún mejor! Es fantástico!!
    Un abrazo.

      Qué lindo comentario Josh. Me encanta pintar retratos como te encanta pintar tus hermosos paisajes y paisajes marinos. Ella era un placer pintar y amaría hacer otro retrato de ella en una diversa actitud. Muchas gracias por pasar ... siempre haces mi día.

    A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
    Email him at: Emutemple@gmail.com
