" Charlotte " by Paul Hatton

Nice one Paul. I know how difficult it is to portray children, but you have done a good job here, well done.

Thanks Fred. It is all about challenging yourself to learn isn't it?

super portrait of your granddaughter Paul, really good work

The soft, rounded arms, skin tone and hands are particularly lovely

Thank you Sharon and Ros appreciate it.

Painting children is a huge challenge. It's all in features and you've got them spot on!

Very charming portrait. The difficulty with painting small children is retaining the 'young-ness' of them. However, you have achieved this wonderfully well in this excellent painting.

You are very kind Kim and Thea. Thank you. I started with pencil sketches to get the hang of the subtle tonal changes that helps a lot.
