Got this image from a film website for the film 'Happy Go Lucky', a Mike Leigh comedy starring Sally Hawkins. This is her in the painting. Again painted it upside down but had lots of problems with the hands so finished it off the right way up. Spent about 30 minutes on it. I've begun a bigger painting, 90cms x 120cms, which is the face of a beautiful woman captured photographically in the style of Vemeer. The whole painting is the face and I've begun it upside down without any pre-drawing of it!! Good advice from a tutor was to do the whole of the first layer just as blocks of colour.
