In Progress - Brewer Children 1

Here's my next portrait - and the largest one that I've done thus far. The children are sitting on a park bench at Maymont in Richmond, VA. It's a beautiful park with Japanese gardens, a zoo, a walkway, and just some beautiful landscaping. This photo is of me beside it showing the size scale of the painting. In the sketch, I placed the children too far down the canvas. This is the reason I outline in charcoal, to easily cover up mistakes like this.
