I
am NOT a portrait painter, but I'm starting the year with an
experiment, working on something different, purely for me. I know this is not very good, but portrait painting is an area I'm exploring this year. I've lost the likeness, but like the advice I got from Jana Bouc to "not worry about likeness so much, go with the feeling and making it a "painting" rather than a "portrait"." It's supposed to be one
of the homeless people I met recently. I did one session of sketches
with her and took some photos. She didn't reappear for the next session,
so I worked with what I had.
Here are the WIP shots:
