Reference Photo:
Olivia Ann, age 13, with a passion for horseback riding is Grandma's "cowgirl". Grandma chose this photo because it exemplifies the beautiful transformation from child to young lady which had happened almost overnight. She said that Olivia had a kind-hearted loving spirit that was diplomatic and generous.
I was so concerned with drawing the straw hat in the that I saved Olivia's portrait for last. As it turned out by then I had given it so much thought that the drawing actually went quite well.
I used a blender to pick up the carbon pencil and made the marks that indicated the woven pattern of the hat.
