Sassy 6

So here we are, once again back with my little Sassy girl!  Have only had a few hours to work my magic on this painting….been a busy week.  I’m very close to having that cheek where I need it to be.  Still trying to achieve that “balancing act” between light and dark.  I’m feeling that…

Sassy Part 5

Sassy….2

                      Here we are and I have to say I’m pretty pleased with the progress.  Blocking in the highs and lows to establish the contours of the face.  The nose is looking great…I do need to make an adjustment on the left nostril, the bottom…
