Britt Portrait

Painting from life is a challenging and rewarding undertaking.   This model had beautiful distinctive features which helped in establishing facial "landmarks."   Her flesh tones seemed pale under the studio spotlights so I took the liberty of giving this lovely woman high color.

There is a perfectly located municipal building along the water in Scituate, MA.  Apparently the building is not in use, so I was happy to enjoy the spot for painting,  along with others who had also discovered a view that could only enhance their morning coffee.

 

The wide aspect of this canvas (8x16 inches) was nicely suited for depicting a sweeping vista that included rows of boat slips, the distant Second Cliff, a long dock with boathouse and even the privacy fence of the next property to the south.
