First Run

My 4-year-old daughter participated in an athletic meet for the first time.  I was stunned by the reflected light of the red runway on children’s faces.  In this short run, I felt my lovely girl suddenly grew up.  Of course, there are many more journeys out there waiting for her.


Contrasting the red runway, I don’t know if this is the right way to capture the reflected light on her face and if the color temperature is correct.  I have applied white gouache on the tips of her hair.


It seems some parts have been a bit overdone.  If given another chance, I would try to reduce the layers applied and preserve the fresh white of the paper more.



記Luvia 的第一次賽跑
在紅色跑道的光影下，跑道上的小孩子們均映照得滿面通紅，非常可愛。在短短數十米的跑程下，看著Luvia 堅定的往終點跑，突然發現，小妮子真的長大了。媽媽怎麼捨得妳長大得這麼快呢？
