 Hello readers and fellow bloggers. How are you doing? Today I'm back with another art update. This time I will share an acrylic painting of a girl with a red scarf. I made this portrait  painting mainly  to practice portrait painting. I used my husband's photograph of myself as a reference but my priority  was not to achieve resemblence but rather to practice depicting skin.
