Blanche

When I was commissioned to paint Blanche, her parents wanted me to create a piece which focused entirely upon her, with few distractions.

 

When I met her, I found her to be thoughtful but slightly shy, with moments where her more confident side burst through.

I set about to capture this in my portrait, first deciding upon a pensive pose, looking away from the camera.

 

 

Then, in order to accentuate the mood of the piece further, I focused heavily on blues and purples on one side of the face and in the background.
