We have been continuing gouache painting in drawing class and I have started to take a liking to it. This is a study I did of a vintage asian doll my sister has. I was interested in the vibrant red of her dress and the smooth texture of her hair. While I am not a fan of figure drawing, I did not mind working on this portrait. I wanted to capture the asian personality yet retain the doll quality of the subject. I think I was pretty successful in rendering her, although I am considering going back in and working with some of the red hues in the dress to make the form more believable.
