Beckham
During this past summer, my cousin asked me if I could paint her three boys. While painting Beckham I had the most trouble with his mouth, in the image I was given to go off, his teeth were showing, after trying multiple trys, I improvised and closed his mouth to my best ability.
Kayce
Kayce is the second son of my cousins. For his painting I really wanted to capture his playful and smiley personality. In the painting I used thin lines for his curls to show the curls in all of their glory. With all his curly hair I also made sure to capture his big smile and snack in hand. Kayce loves snacks, so it had to be in there!
Clay
Clay is my cousin’s youngest; he is a baby but definitely still has a personality. Clay is very smiley and a little chunky. I painted him with a big smile and did not forget any rolls! I tried to incorporate motion slightly to make him look like he was actively laughing.
Billie
Billie Eilish is one of my favorite music artists so of course I wanted to paint her so I could hang it on my wall. A Lot of her songs are sad and relatable, to enhance the sadness I used darker colors as well as painted her facial expression in a typical sad placement. Her eye contact helps show how she sees you and understands what you are going through.
Kaitlin
One day I had a huge urge to just paint. To satisfy this need I painted my sister. The main reason I painted my sister this day was because I missed her. Being away at college really makes me realize how much I miss my family; in this instance it was my sister. I love how goofy she is, so I went through all the embarrassing images I have taken of her and chose the "worst" one!
Jeff
When it came time for my dad’s birthday this last year I didn't have much money but I did have a canvas and paint, so for my dad’s birthday I decided to paint a portrait based off one of my favorite pictures that I took of him. To make the painting more fun and different from the picture I reimagined the background.
