Above is the final portrait. It is a fun and positive portrait. Not too serious. It is a portrait symbolizing growth. The background is abstract compared to the main subject of the portrait. I did this for contrast and to create a playfulness in the piece.I deemphasized the jewelry. Below are the steps I took to get there.
Above is my 1st layer on the background. I ended up doing 2 layers of paint and 3 layers of color pencil.
Then I began working on the butterfly background parts.
Initially I had the hair very dark, but after a few more photos were provided and we had a discussion about various times when her hair was dyed I came to this color.
