Portrait - Susie



 Here is a portrait I did back in February for a friend. This is a friend of hers (Susie) gone way too soon.

Here's a few steps in the process:


The first step was just setting down the values with black and white acrylics.



A little more detail (still in acrylics).



I then started applying oil paints over the top, adding just a hint of color to give it all some warmth. 
It is at the end that I added the butterfly on the chair arm, which has a sentimental significance.
