Oil Portrait Demonstration.  Art By Lisabelle, Portrait of two young girls, began February 1, 2010.   To see earlier stages, scroll down this page.  This portrait is based on a Teacher's Photo of her students, from the 1990's.  Chinese Folk customs and costumes make for a colorful composition.  The girls are holding large, red Chinese lanterns.  Still working on the portrait.... Adding tonal values and details, working on the background.
