Trying out this site for the first time: hoping we can use this forum to share some of the work-in-progress photos leading to the final portrait as well as the original photo, if there is one. As I have not yet begun on a new portrait, I will “practice” using this site by posting photos from my most recent portrait. Note to self: I will need to be more careful about taking photos under similar lighting conditions in the future.
Not sure if you can see it, but the final painting has more reds added to it.
