Jan 8th: Acrylic on Canvas

I only had a few hours today so I worked on clothes. The girl in the back has on some difficult fabric. It's knitted or possibly some kind of lace. Either way, there are lots of tiny holes that vary in size and shape. Luckily, I have a crazy looking brush shaped like an "M" that will paint several dots simultaneously. It seems to be working so far on the white from her undershirt, but as far as the brown of her skin, it didn't look nearly as well. I don't know if that's because the brown was too dark or what, but I had to paint over the dots for tonight. I'll figure something else out tomorrow.

Tonight was about finding the right shade for the clothing and pondering a background. Since the family is in bright (almost pastel) colors, I think it would be best to use a neutral color for the background. Possibly gray or a grayish blue.
