KLB Prep's Art teacher, Claire's vision was to keep the painting soft, light with a fresh feeling, with a particular focus on the detail in Diana’s face, hands and the flower detail on the blazer. Intriguingly, Claire works on portraits upside down in order not to be distracted by whether there is sufficient likeness.
