NFS - 16x16in. - Oil. - "Avery"
Avery was a wonderful model. She loves the camera and the camera loves her. For this pose she was in the shade of a big tree, with a lot of darkness behind her. I played around with the reference image on my ipad and decided a light background would work best. The only problem was the dress was suddenly mostly the same value as the background, so I tried an outline and found I really liked it! I have found my ipad to be indispensable for these portraits.

Hi Carol,
This is a lovely portrait, as are all the others!
You mention using your iPad to experiment with adjustments – which program do you use for that?
Looking forward to more portaits, they are really inspiring.
