Hortense was the sweet little girl who showed up this week in the afternoon with her mom for a painting session. She was great, and was very comfortable with Dawu and the whole painting process. Dawu began with smoothing out the base paint on to the gesso canvas with her hands and feet, and them moved her to using different brushes to create a variety of effects and textures. After she was finished, she picked up her dolly and asked to have Dawu paint her feet in silver, then proceeded to 'paint' with her doll's feet on the canvas, just as Dawu had done with her! It was so cute. Standing beside her canvas at the end after 2 hours of straight painting, Hortense was more than proud!
