So a friend of mine wanted something by her vanity table that would inspire beauty. So we came up with this concept. I started off with a sketch to make sure we got exactly what she wanted. She looked up fashion art online and found a sketch of a girl looking to the side with a similar dress as the one I painted. I said okay, but it would have to turn into my own style. She agreed and this is what I sketched for her.
This painting was something I had not done before so I was excited to start. She wanted clean lines on the painting so I taped the sides to give it a framed look. Then went with the background first and left the girl for last. That was my favorite part.
The skin color was enjoyable to mix because I was trying to get something close to my friend's skin. I have to say the hair also came close, although she liked the idea of making it longer. The simple touch of the starry night sky tied the painting in perfectly. I believe it brought a hint of allurement that she desired. Looking at it more and more, I feel there are a few things I would change but overall, it was a delight to paint.
