Acrylic portrait study focused on expression and subtle color shifts.

I wanted to experiment with layering — building skin tones through soft pinks, warm neutrals, and hints of shadow instead of relying on flat color. Capturing innocence without over-detailing was the biggest challenge.

This piece pushed me to slow down and really observe. The smallest changes in value completely changed the emotion.

Still learning how to trust texture and let brushstrokes show.
