Baby Johann




Hi there!

This 9x11 portrait of Johann is the first oil baby portrait I have done. So far, it's going pretty well, considering I am still learning the ins and outs of my new Finepix S7000 and the final photograph his parents and I both agreed upon has some very distinct contrasts (still learning about lighting and photography, too!) I'm happy with the way the foundation is laid out and feel that the drawing and details are strong so far. But due to the photograph, I find it necessary to fudge some of the color details and to even out the contrast just a bit. I would say I am 3/4 of the way there, meaning this is the perfect time for me to welcome any insights, digital manipulations or observations any are willing to offer. Thanks so much, in advance, for your time.
