Portrait #2 (the sister)

The crispy air and the colors of autumn, I just love it. Whenever feeling a bit down, a walk among the fallen leaves cheers me up and calms me down at the same time. Autumn is definitively my favorite season.

Now, what I actually wanted to show you guys was my second portrait, so here it comes. Nellie quite naturally became the next painting project since she is the sister of Hampus. A sweetie, is she not?

2. The sketch.

3. The final result.

This portrait took me about three weeks to finish. Three weeks of late nights and many tired yawns at work the mornings after, that is. As much as I would like to spend my whole days painting it is not possible at the moment, I have a full time job that has to come in first place. Anyways, feel free to tell me what you think!
