COMMISSIONING A PORTRAIT

COMMISSIONING A PORTRAIT:
For answers to your questions about commissioning a portrait with me, I welcome you to visit "Commissions" and "Pricing", and review more examples of my portraiture at http://www.monaconner.com .
Lead time required for a portrait commission is commensurate with the detail and the technique being utilized. For any further questions please contact me at mona@monaconner.com.
A note that on occasion I post drawings from life, as well as drawings of nude models, as it is an important traditional practice which improves my ability in portraiture.

Self-Portrait, Age 3, More Progress

"Self Portrait, Age 3" in progress, 19 1/2" x 23 1/2", pastel on Pastelmat

I'm making a bit of progress on the nuances of the facial features and starting to block in the pants and lower portions, so here's another update.  Still struggling a bit with this new surface, but I may try a little workable spray fix to see if it helps me refine things further.

    I love seeing you work with different mediums Mona and this is coming along beautifully!! Do you like the Pastelmat? I really enjoyed working with the pastels on this surface. You certainly don't look like you are struggling :)

    Thanks Gary and Karen. Gary, I loved California, even as a young child. We lived in Redondo Beach for only about two years before moving back East.

    Karen, I really admire your work on this surface. I'm finding it harder to layer up the pastel than on La Carte, but I do like how Pastelmat is lighter on cleanup.
