Here is a closeup of my portrait of Celina, as it looked on March 19, 2024. That day I think I repainted the face at least five times, but I was learning more each time. Getting closer, but not there yet. I didn't make any changes to the figure or the background, so I am just posting the closeup.

Flowers for Celina (Portrait as of March 16, 2024)
Here is the portrait I am working on as it looked on March 16, 2024. On that day, I made some changes to the face, based on the reference photo. I think the face is getting slowly getting closer to likeness. I also made adjustments to the position of the body and the posture. To be continued.

Flowers for Celina (Portrait as of March 15, 2024)
Here is my current portrait project as it looked on March 15th. At this point, almost all my effort was going into working on the face, studying my reference photo and trying to get a likeness. I felt like I was getting closer. . .but not there yet. . . .

Flowers for Celina (Portrait as of March 14, 2024)
Here is the portrait I am working on as it looked on March 14th. At this point, I was concentrating on the face. I used my reference photo as a guide. For the face, I am working on a very small area with a small brush, and only brown and white paint. At this point, I felt that I was still "learning" Celina's face. (Of course I do know Celina's face, but did not know her as a young woman.) Anyway, I began to feel that I was coming closer to the features that I saw in the reference photo, but was not quite there yet. To be continued. . . .

Flowers for Celina (Portrait as of March 13, 2024)
Here is the portrait as it looked on March 13. I used the revised lines (marked the previous day with red conte) to make changes to the canvas. I introduced a bit of green just so I could keep track of the changes. Although I worked a little on the face, at this point, I was concentrating on the position of the body, trying to show the slight turn to one side. To be continued. . .

Flowers for Celina (Portrait as of March 12, 2024)
Here's the portrait I am working on as it looked on March 12. At that point, I was still working on the position of the figure, showning a slight turn to the side. I did more measuring than painting, but you can see the newly corrected lines marked with red conte crayon.

Flowers for Celina (Closeup of Face) as of Mar. 11, 2024
Here is a closeup of the portrait I am working on, as of March 11, 2024. Because I had to change the position of the body, I consequently had to repaint the face.. It's a little better, but not there yet. But each time I re-paint the face, I am learning.
