Portrait of a child, acrylics

I wanted to portray this little girl in a pose that was typical of her thoughtful personality. I took loads of photos but this is the one that struck me as being the best to illustrate her nature.

I wanted to focus on her face and expression so I painted it on a very small canvas in acrylics. I used semi transparent washes of paint to build up the painting.
