Above: a little boy nicknamed The Juice. This is part of a much larger painting wherein The Juice is getting a haircut in a barbershop surrounded by taxidermy (deer, fish). In the painting, his entire head is much smaller than what you see here–it’s more like three inches tall. The painting was very difficult (6 hours on this part alone!) and I’m still not done with the face. I need to do a couple of minor things to make him look pudgier, I think. I’ve always maintained that blonds have the toughest coloring to paint, and children are the toughest age to paint…so blond children are exhausting. But awfully cute.
Found in Watercolor.
