    Just finished painting this one up. Like others I ditched the war paint. My intention was, as the title implies an older father and his young daughter. I think I did ok with the man but despite several tries I couldn't get the female to look young. Probably my lack of painting skills but something about the eyes always made her look old. Anyway, it is what it is and I quite like it. 20210611_110432.jpg 20210611_110458.jpg 20210611_110432.jpg

    I think it's the sculpture's fault... The wrinkles around her mouth age her face. I guess it was supposed to be an elderly couple.
    You can try to repaint it, paint her lips a lighter color, red could be good, when it comes to eyes - why don't you paint them blue? If it's not the fault of the photo, reduce also the glare of the light in them, now it looks like she has white on her eyes, which makes her look like an old woman in my opinion.
    I'd paint the hair in brown tones, I know that it has nothing to do with the historical truth, but why not try? The black color is very difficult to shade.
    And oh, there's something green on the red necklace ;) .

    The old man is just perfect!
