Back in the studio trying to finish these WIP’s lying around. I picked this one of Ethan. I’ve been meaning to get back to it for a while. The session went well, and here is the result. Next i’ll fill in the background with color then I’ll need to let it dry before I do anymore. Looking at this a day later I probably should have added in some kind of back light in the background before I let it [...]
Mr Jack, is the true JVF (those being his initials). These two images are from my first and second sitting, each being about 3 hours long. I hope to put in just one more 3 hour sitting to finish this up. -update- At hour 13 – -update- At hour 10 – This version is over soft, with lots of the key likeness aspects almost lost (Eyes, and Chin being the biggest). After a good nights sleep it looks very obvious [...]
Of course (to me) the title is meant to be a pun on this here individuals name, Mr. David Pinck. I thought that working with this small (5×7) canvas would be a little easier. But no, as it turns out it has been quite the pain. However this as a study has so far been very rewarding. I have definably learned a few lessons. I see flaws but for a first sitting it not bad.
Putting some more work into my Ethan portrait. Flushed in the first part of the background as well. I know think this one is ready to add the color washes. In this picture you can also see my improved lighting situation, my pictures are no longer yellowish. I recently got some 5000k bulbs for my studio and I can not recommend them enough. Studio setup is huge when it comes to painting, I know I’m late to the party on [...]
This is a portrait of a good family friends son Ethan. He’s a great kid and was game to pose. I do wish I could have spent more time in this sitting.
This is of my first “REAL” sitting on this portrait. I have been messing around with this for a while now but finally set the “pen to paper” so to speak.
I got a few new brushes and I wanted to give them a go but I didn’t want to setup for a long haul session. So I put up a pic of some bunnies I like to play with every now and then. I enjoyed the process and here is the result so far.
