a fairy study



This is a study of the Fairy that appears in a larger painting. 
title: A Spritely Appearance

medium: oil on canvas 18x12 in.

My granddaughter posed for the reference  photo I used to create this image however she was wearing an orange and black cotton dress with her hair cut short so I had to make some changes to create my Fairy. The only parts original to the main reference photo are the arms and legs. The head I referenced from another photo of her. The hair and dress are made up. I painted this study because I wasn't certain I could pull off the effect of the diaphanous Fairy gown. I'm happy with the results.
