I picked up a paint brush for the first time 7 weeks ago. This is the first portrait I have ever attempted, and wouldn't have if my art instructor (Robin Adair) hadn't given this assignment in class using Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring as a study. I am thrilled with the process and can't wait to try more.
