Description: I think babies have the most difficult faces to paint, and my little niece Belle wasn't that easy, but she certainly is cute! My sister and Beauty Broadcast kingpin Emily had Belle almost three months ago, and I was lucky enough to have been with her in the delivery room. I have a feeling that I will be painting Belle a lot! My reference photo was a screen cap from one of the many videos Emily sends me. The painting is kind of sketchy in the non-face areas, and if this were a serious portrait I would probably spend an entire day on it rather than two hours. Whenever I paint for a video, it's like a race against time because my computer can only process so much, so I am painting as quickly as I possibly can. I'm also presenting this as a speed painting without narration because if you're familiar with my channel, you've heard me talk about my techniques over and over again, and honestly *narration takes an extra day and a half* and I'm kind of swamped this month! Thanks for understanding. :) Watch Belle on Emily’s vlog, Beauty Vlogcast: youtube.com/user/beautyvlogcast And she has been known to pop up on her dad Tyler’s reviews here: youtube.com/user/beautybroadcastx Watch me paint Belle’s mother, Emily! youtube.com/watch?v=goPNM0kwgcE Watch me paint Belle’s mother a long time ago!
