A few weeks back my friend, Keenan, came to me about an idea that she had for a portrait. She wanted me to create a colored pencil portrait of her grandmother, who is no longer with her sweet family. She sent me a photo of a photo and I wasn't sure that I could make it happen, but the image was BEAUTIFUL! It was gonna be tough, but I wanted more than anything to make this happen for her and her mom. We discussed a few of the details before-hand like the fact that her grandmother loved roses and when adding her name I HAD to add "Mrs", because that was important to her :) Just precious! Well, here is the process...ENJOY!
