Finished the Indian Groom portrait! Finally! It took me quite some time, but I'm very pleased with the outcome. I hope the commissioner will be, too ^_^

Slight changes
Just some slight changes, visible in the close-up. Didn't have much time to do more, unfortunately. I started with gold paint on her dress and added details to her veil and armbands. I hope I can get more done tomorrow.

Courage
Finally found the courage to continue. Portraits are hard! But also fun and a very good teacher in many ways. I should keep that in mind next time I get the jibbers ;)

Indian Bride II
Working on a second portrait. Another Indian bride. I love how much I learn from these!
Step 1: Sketched a rough outline on the canvas.
Step 2: Filled in the background color with one color, to hold the painting together. In some areas the background color will show through, creating a whole. When it was dry, I drew the figure in more detail.
Step 3: Blocked in the red parts of her dress, keeping shadows and (high)lights into account.
Step 4: Blocked in her veil, again accounting for darker and lighter areas. The veil is translucent, making it very hard to paint. I will likely come back to it at a later stage.

Indian Bride - Face
Worked on the face this time. It doesn't look anything like the photo reference I used, but oh well, it looks like a person, that's something at least.
