Study of Heather
This is the final version of an earlier Study of Heather started on a snowy day when the studio was freezing. I used a reference photo to complete Heather’s face and am very happy with the result. Thanks very much to the model for the sitting. If you’d like to model, contact me via my handy contact form.
