This week I finished the second project of Q2. I had difficulty getting the skin tone right as it kept showing up almost gray, but I tried to increase the saturation and use more burnt sienna which I think helped. I think the blending could be a bit better, but it was much more difficult to keep the acrylic paint wet compared to the oil paints I worked with last time. Because of this, I'm leaning towards using oils next project. I am pretty happy with how the lips and teeth turned out. I tried to emphasize the highlight and the red in the lips to match the red background. I still want to add some more highlights to the hair and possibly add visible folds to the fabric of her shirt. The placement of the mushroom was also something I struggled with as Kennedy didn't have one when she took the photo so I kinda had to super-impose it and hope it didn't look weird. I think it turned out okay, but it does seem a bit small. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how this piece and the series in total turned out.
