I considered just not tackling the dreads at all, but in the end I decided to knuckle down, look very hard at the subject, and paint away as usual.
This shows the two and a half hour painting process in four steps.
Amanda is a great model, and I was pretty pleased with the final result.

Sooo beautiful! Love it!
The result is exquisite! Absolutely breathtaking -- the contrast of her hair to her deeper skin tones is striking, yet serves to draw attention to her beautiful face rather than to focus the eye onto the lighter hair tones. You are a magician!
Hi Olivia and JKluge,
I am delighted that you like the painting, and many thanks for the words of encouragement
all the best

She's lovely (and thank you for showing us various stages. I think the model must be very,very pleased.
Thanks Amal,
I don't know if Amanda liked it...sometimes the models are very interested to see how they are painted or drawn and sometimes not.
Many thanks for the kind words
PJ
