Sketch by Sarah Sullivan of a Mother with her barefoot child

Reflections

Last July I got a good start painting this sketch of my sister and her barefoot child. I liked the body language between the two of them but had trouble with the hillside above the pond. When I had to stop before finishing, I put it aside thinking I would get to it later. Tonight I added some lights on the hill and the right side of the water and that seems to have fixed it for me.

This is a 12 X 12 gouache sketch on black paper.

    Ha! The composition is “radiating” color, value, light, dark. Very interesting Sarah!
