Mother and child

Lightly sketch the main shapes and proportions of the mother and child.

Apply a light wash of diluted warm brown to the skin areas, establishing the base tone.

Layer darker washes of brown and red to define shadows and contours on the faces and bodies.

Paint the clothing with diluted washes of orange and brown, creating folds and highlights.

Add details like the necklace, hat, and the pattern on the blanket.

Use a fine brush to add details to the faces, such as eyes, nose, and mouth.

Soften edges and blend colors where necessary to create a smooth transition.

Add final highlights and shadows to enhance the depth and realism of the painting.
