Picture portrait

This kid was too cute to do justice to in paint. In the studio, overwhelming orange from a large painting next to this piece seeped in and resulted in quite intense skin tones. I do want the children's paintings to be vibrant to reflect youth, and this is nicely balanced with blues here. If anything, his eyes could be bluer as well. It's always easier to be objective once it's been a while.. and your client already has the painting.
