November Portrait

November Portrait

I painted Santa(Uncle Bill McDonald) as he was on his way out my door. Since this is a busy month for him I had to paint FAST !!! Thanks Santa for letting me paint your portrait during your busy time of year! Oh! don't worry about the raindeer tracks they cleaned up just fine, cannot even tell they were here. :-)

Rough in of Greta's Portrait - April

Stage One - Block In I do like this but if I work it anymore I am just making mud. I will need to wait until it dries a bit before I continue. I was experimenting with different tones.

Danica - first hour of painting Danica's Portrait This will be for April

So far I have made my deadline of one portrait painting a month...

When first starting out, the canvas was covered in burnt umbre, then I rubbed out the light areas with a rag. Next week, I will start painting with color much like the February portrait.
