Velazquez : Portrait of a Young Girl

Velazquez : Portrait of a Young Girl

Painting pale flesh tones is a challenge for every artist. Start too light and you quickly find yourself boxed into a corner and chalking out.

Portrait of a Young Girl is Velázquez' only portrait of a child who was not a member of the royal family. This informal portrait possesses a beguiling chroma and seemingly effortless brush work.

The practice of copying is not to recreate a painting in exacting verisimilitude but to draw lessons from it and apply those lessons to your own work. Copying is the great leveler and Velázquez will always humble the best amongst us.
