Jan 14th: Acrylic on Canvas

I realize now that as the weekend hits, it's harder to commit to do art every day. Especially when we spend the day snowboarding or have karate or something like that. It's going to be hard, but I know I can do it if I just take an hour or so out of my busy days. Maybe I'll have to start getting up earlier.

Good news. I finished the canvas painting. Oh yes. It is finished. I'm so freaking happy. So yesterday I basically did all the little touch ups that needed to be done like the youngest boys' eyebrows. The biggest thing I did was finish everyone's hair, adding texture and highlights. I also finished painting the girls' hands. Hands are always hard for some reason, but I even got the fingernails in there so I'm happy with it. My final decision on the background was to leave it white. Every color that I could think of didn't seem right and I think that it looks good with the white. I'm very happy with the finished product and I hope the person who ordered it will be too.
