When I asked you "What do I do after I complete an oil painting", several answered that I....go to the fridge to have some food! When focused on a project I usually neglect taking a step back and reviewing the amount of work I have done already. This is an extremely special drawing. I absolutely love making these technical paintings. I am coming to the conclusion that the older the person is, the more appropriate for powerful portraits they become. Bubble gum nostalgia? That's a new one! Character, style, attitude...you name it. This man has it. Today I am going to introduce you to my new portrait drawing theme. Hooray! My first portrait-like painting! It becomes increasingly difficult to draw a portrait the more subtle the subject is. I need your opinions on this one. After such a loud, big "YES" to seeing some oil painting, I got the courage to share with you my first exercise! Is anyone else feeling a bit all over the place now that lockdown is coming to an end? Have you watched The Pianist? Bit of a character this dude. Do you day dream? Life is all about "passing the message". For the lovers of dramatic lighting - this is for you! I had a really early start today... In a budget hotel room in Huntingdon, UK... I am sure you you have heard of Rembrandt. How dramatic does a human look under "split" light... Don't try this at home...you might get scared! Light (and the lack of it...) helps us see the world the way we do. A couple of things for you today! You are outraged! You are absolutely mad... Horror films is a genre I don't particularly enjoy. We shouldn't be living for the weekend. That's true. You will be aware of the "Chuckle" saga by now! I am explaining myself... I feel Disgust...
