Mother and Children - mock-up

Before starting a painting I do a 'mock-up' in photoshop to make sure that I get the composition and overall look of the end painting right. Also useful if painting a commission piece, so the customer can get a clearer idea of the end result. This is my mock up of two of my adult girls and the child is me. Its symbolic, illustrating the gradual shift in our roles. - acrylic painting to follow #painting #child #motherand child
