Watercolor on watercolor paper, 250 gsm, size 21 x 21 cm.
Reference photo and grid used.

I made baby portrait painting for my niece's birthday. She's actually turning 4 (next week), but I used a photo of her as a 1-year-old. When I took this photo, we were just about to go out and she was all wrapped up in the baby carriage and probably a bit annoyed, because she was getting too warm. But it was a fun photo to paint because of all the fabrics and colors. I painted it yesterday evening and did some finishing touches this morning. I think this is the first time I made a portrait using only watercolors (no ink etc. for eyes or other details) and also the first painting of a child I've ever made.
