14 Years of Age

 This was my reference photo which I have used before.

Here is the initial sketch on the oil painting. At this point I really had no idea where I was headed.

 Here is the figure sketched in with oil paint. After this I tried a variety of options with the paper. It's easy for it to become too busy. I tried to stay with a limited palette.

Nothing is made up here. It really is just a blending of the two images and trying to figure out a way to make them work together.
