Portrait Painting of a Child! with Jessica Henry Gray

Hi Everyone! This week I am bringing to you Painting Children's Portraits! Painting children has it's own unique set o challenges that I wanted to address. I took this picture years ago of this beautiful little girl and just loved her angelic face and unbelievable curls! In this video I address the challenges most often faces with painting children. I hope you enjoy it and are able to take away something for your future works! Thanks for watching~

With the holidays about here, consider a portrait for a loved one. It's been a tough year not being as close as we'd like to each other. A portrait is a beautiful way of saying you love and care for someone. I am offering a special price on portrait commissions now, on orders placed before December 1st will guarantee a Christmas delivery.

I will be offering more in person and online workshops in 2021, so join my email newsletter to stay up to date on all the news. My workshops fill pretty quickly. I'd love to meet you sometime!
