This painting of a bust was a true challenge, and I loved every moment of creating it. Exploring the intricate details, the delicate play of light and shadow, and the quiet elegance of the form pushed me in new ways.
As I work towards painting human portraits in 2025, this felt like an important step—both technically and creatively. It’s turned out beautifully, and I’m so proud of what I’ve achieved. Sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone leads to something truly special!
