WIP Big Eye Self Portrait Art Original Painting Work in Progress + Sketches, December 13, 14, & 15/ Big Eye Fairy, Daffodil, & Angel Daily Sketch...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP painting of an idealized big eye version of myself, I've glazed some darks over the underpainting and worked in some subtle hightlights.  I intend to revisit shading in the face now that I've established the hair.  I've also enlarged the irises so I also have more work to do there.  I think this is the mermaid version of me...  I'm saving the highlights in the eyes until last.

This idealized big eyed self portrait is on a 16"x20" canvas in acrylics.    

This is a work in progress, but I also usually post at least one finished piece on Tuesdays if you'd like to come to visit!  You also may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

I'm joining in this week with Paint Party Friday.  To see more participants, please visit:

===============================================

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She seems like she may be basking in the moonlight...  I think she is most likely a fairy angel, although she could also be a mermaid or a goddess.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in December. This is from day 13. 

This is a rough sketch. 

Here is a sketch of a daffodil.  I love the sweet nature of these flowers...  I'm unsure if I'll paint it or not, but I did enjoy sketching it.
