Time Well Spent

I finally finished an ipad painting that I started last month. I probably spent 40+ hours working on this thing, painting the large important areas and tweaking and refining the little details which seemed to go on and on. I did not intend to get so bogged down in the small details but that sometimes happens with us artists. We cannot stop, or we do not know when to stop. But I was confident for the most part on the ending of this painting.
The subject is my youngest daughter at the age of five. I wanted to capture her personality and little facial features with that unique little smile she exhibits. I started with a pencil sketch on paper. I then took a picture of that sketch and loaded into the app, Inspire Pro. This is a fairly good app and excels at smooth paintings, not necessarily textured works. I kept track of my progress and here are a few pictures of the various working stages of the painting.
