I can't believe how much time I spent on this little guy, trying to get his mouth the way I wanted it. In the reference photo he has a playful, happy look on his face with his mouth open and tongue kinda sticking out. I have failed in capturing that look, rather, in my painting he looks a little upset. I have spent so many hours on it already, for such a small painting, I'm going to just accept the fact that painting people with their mouths open is beyond my skill level for now, since I am really pretty new at attempting to put people in my scenes. Hopefully, by the end of this series, I will be better at it. The model is my little Grandson, Xavier. He was two and half at the time this was taken.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
