Girl from the North Country by Margaret Aycock oil on canvas

This is a class project.  Scroll down and you can see my class working on " our girl."  Everyone got a chance to choose a background, hair style and really anything else.  We started with a photo of a pretty young woman and added and subtracted till we each got what we wanted.  I like to use a photo as a jumping off point for my students so that I can teach them a method to create a portrait.  This one was done in the style of the old masters.  It is on Ebay auction this week.  To check out my auction click here.
