I started and finished a whole painting in one day – but can’t take photos until tomorrow (too much glare.) Here is a super sneaky sneak peek, featuring the gorgeous Sophia. It’s very red. Red is the colour of passion. She’s super passioney. It just makes sense.
I also need to photograph my finished portrait of Albert once the blacks lighten a bit. Hopefully that is tomorrow.
Have a wonderful rest of Thursday!
Every time I do a painting I do a sketch first. Sometimes it’s very rough, other times it’s extremely detailed. For the Jumeaux series, most of them are pretty rough as I am very familiar with the subject. Just thought I’d share a few of them with you (some I’ve posted before)
The lighting is very uni-directional in my studio at night as you can see.
I finished the portrait I was working on and shall photograph it tomorrow (possibly Friday as the black paint should dry quite light and needs to wait til then so it’s all consistent 😉 Have a great evening!
I’m working on a few drawings to post, in the meantime here is the progress I’ve made on my portrait.
As you can see, my model is wearing an Amazing Spiderman tshirt. It’s a cool shirt. I feel good about this. Real good. I should be finishing up by the end of tomorrow. I stayed up late last night putting the face in and had to kind of redo it today.
Also, I sold this portrait today:
