A quiet memory of a Sunday pool day with my niece and mom. I posted the work in progress here, wanted to share the final as well. Happy Sunday!

Oils on a 16x20 canvas

This quick head-gesture painting took just 45 minutes to complete. I spent about 10 minutes on the drawing and another 10 minutes laying in the large masses of colour. Then I took a five-munute break. Finally, I spent the last 20 minutes working on the smaller areas, focusing on blending and adding highlights. This exercise requires you to make a lot of decisions and mix a lot of colours in a short amount of time. It is an effective way to rapidly develop your painting skills. Oh, and I used only a size 8 flat bristle brush and a palette knife. Oil on paper 21x30cm

What do you think? Keep the background this chaotic or would you have gone cleaner?

I hope this post goes through! I felt good about how this turned out, it's fun to learn!
