Portrait practice
When we return to class in January, the theme will be based on portraits. These were all painted from reference photographs to try and "get my eye in". They are all small studies approx. 20 cms by 16 cms, and owe a lot to the work of Atlee Harmon. His portraits on Wet Canvas are simply stunning.
Numbers 2 and 3 succeed best in capturing a likeness, but I also like number 4. Only number 1 was overworked and lost the feeling of life, IMHO.
