Composing


A portrait in progress, of my daughter composing at the piano. The first stage of blocking in and is just getting the shapes and light and darks. I turn the photo and the canvas upside down often to check the sizes.















I notice
the arm is too small as I
block in the cool background.




















I put in some darks and make some
adjustments to the shapes
as I go.
I rough in some skin colour and
the t-shirt to judge the overall
values.
