Day 9; Spring Kid

Painting small is giving me the opportunity to paint all those references and ideas I have saved up, without making it a real big deal to just pick one.   After all, if it doesn't work, I dont' have a month, or even a week, invested!   So it is rather freeing.   

Today is a 6x9 of one of last year's kids.  They are really hard to sketch or take photos, they are always on the move!  But I got this little fella with the sun hitting him just right.

Uart 500grit was used, and this time I did a watercolor underwash first.
