DRAWING
ORIGINAL PHOTO
About a month ago, I was rummaging through my Mothers photos and came across this one of my Grandmother Eva and her friend. I loved the style. We definitely don't ware clothes like this on the beach anymore. The time period is about the late 20's, and my Grandmother was about 18.
This portrait took some time to draw. I found myself working quite a bit for the Post Office this last week, so I could not devote enough time to this piece as I would have liked. Not complaining, the PO is a great place to work. It still would have taken some time to do. The detail was what I was after. I would say about 25hrs of time on this one portrait.
I also found some other vintage pictures that would make great portrait drawings. Someday in the future I will get those done and posted. The next portrait will be of a dog. I have two photos to chose from and will be letting my FaceBook friends/family pic. One photo is of my Dad's dog "Albert" a lab/golden and my good friends Marcus and Denise's dog "Java" a boxer. So far the boxer is winning.
A final note, I would like to share what I will be doing for my Mom's business "Carolyn's Natural Soap". I am planning a product party at my house sometime soon. She has two face creams, toner to go with her facial soap. Emu oil is the magic ingredient. She has all purpose cleaner, bug repellent, bug bite healer, and room deodorizer. And of course her famous soap. I thought it would be nice for all of you to meet Carolyn and find out what she puts into her products and the benefits they have for your house and body. It is going to be a fun time.
