20 min portrait using instant coffee as a pigment.
This weekend my studio is open for visitors. Come along and say hello.
(Sheffield, UK).
Study of some lemons. Trying hard to get accurate colour. Looking at the bounce lighting and the subsurface scattering.
Did a little more to the portrait of Clayton. #allaprima. Such a great sitter.
Another all-day portrait event: Painting a model over a 5 hour session. This time I messed-up. I didn’t spot the weakness in the painting. This is a cleaned-up version with tweaks to the drawing. #allaprima
Currently enjoying painting these little 6”x6” canvases. I can work faster and I am less worried about getting everything right.
Some of my iPad portraits. Some famous people, some not.
One of the most challenging things to do as artist, is a long form portrait with a live sitter. Did that today in Sheffield. Not sure if I got a perfect likeness but enjoyed the process.
About once a month, a bunch of us meet in a pub to do quick portraits of each other. This was today’s batch.
Oil on mini-canvas. 6”x6” painting of a sleeping Horace the cat.
