I was, at this point, drawing from sketching books and I thought
that my portrait was fine except for the hair texture and colour so I knew I needed help therefore this painting was
the first one I learned on with Marie Paquette (my teacher). I learned to paint the hair, by layering the dark purple, brown
as base, yellow, white and red as top. Shadow for face and neck with brown.

This painting looks
a lot like a cartoon character and I really like her like this. She is not quite real. The shadow on her forehead, her wide
eyes, her quite white upper lip, her nose not quite rounded on top and the unrealistic shadow, accentuated lip crevace i.e.
dark thick outline, eyes exagerqated curvature, extrimely white teeth.
