No. 371 The Japanese Doll #2


The Japanese Doll No. 2
Oil on Linen Panel

My second attempt at painting this lovely doll.

Starting your own daily painting practice Step 5 1/2 - Dip Your Toe In
Okay, they say there are those that prefer to jump in the pool and those that prefer to dip their toe in first. If you are the latter, by all means dip that toe in! Try daily painting for a week or so. Obstacles will probably arise. The key here is are they surmountable? Use that information to help you decide whether to take the next big step.........

    1. Thank you Pattie! Very happy to hear I made good color choices. I've been thinking a lot about analogous combinations recently. They definitely give a painting a particular mood.

  2. Both paintings are beautiful! Those little hair accessories are perfect (and so shiny)!
