This is the underpainting of a young woman I've known since my daughter and her became close friends in first grade. She has grown into a beautiful person inside and out, and I asked to use one of her facebook pictures for this painting. Although I've painted her a bit older than her 20 years, (which I don't know how to control that), it captures her inner beauty, too. I keep thinking she looks like a country music singer. :)
It will morph into something different, when I start adding color, I'm sure.

This is beautiful Diana...can't wait to see the end result. I am sure your daughter's friend is so flattered that you are painting her.
Wow... it looks beautiful just as it is!! :)
Nice underpainting! Looking forward to see colors! Thank you for sharing!
Ah, my one true childhood friend,
Hope and dream and scheme we dared;
And tho our paths too soon diverge
We’ll always have the time we shared.
