I finished this painting a few days ago--the latest in my quest of trying to capture the effects of bright sunlight that creates interesting patterns. The possibilities are endless if you have a nice, bright window. Unfortunately, the lightest areas on her skin were washed out to pure white in the photo. To see what was really happening in those areas that the photo couldn't record, I had my daughter sit in front of a sunny window a few times and took some notes. Wouldn't it be nice to have a model sit perfectly still with the light never changing for hours at a time?
