We have a family tradition: whenever someone gets married, he gets a double wedding portrait from the family artist, myself. I thought when one of my husband's nephews got married last summer, I would give him a nice toaster and call it quits. No such thing! The expectation was so high that I couldn't dare without devastating the groom. I included some step-by-step pictures that are not high-quality, but still give you an idea of how I approached this important project.

Step 1: The drawing already looks like the love birds! |
|
Step 2: Peter is my husband's nephew and namesake. My husband is known as Peter the Great in the family. | | |
|
Step 3: It
looks like a spring wedding, doesn't it? The lovely outdoor wedding
was actually an August one. We dodged a bad weather, which came in the evening when we were partying inside. A lucky couple! |
|
Step 4: The bride in her dress without a veil looked like a radiant Greek goddess! |
|
Step 5: This
bearded young man is one of the twins, whom I have known since he was
eight. He is my favorite nephew--kind, thoughtful, smart, and quietly
funny. He reminds me of his uncle, my husband. |
