Oil on natural linen canvas 40 x 50cm
Hello everyone - it's been a while, but I'm really happy to be back to work with this commissioned portrait of 2 cheeky boys!
Now taking commissions in time for Christmas (I know, sorry to mention it, but these make amazing gifts and take a while!)
This was an interesting art experiment in which there were several possible finishing points for one picture. The life painting of Dominic went through various stages using charcoal, oil paint with brush, palette knife and roller in the name of exploration! Ultimately he canvas found a whole new life as the base for another picture altogether, but more of that later…
Here's a pretty speedy portrait I did at the wonderful Art Stables in North Finchley.
I made an attempt at a new technique, scraping sections of the painting while still wet and placing the colours onto other parts of the painting. Not sure about the results and need more practice, but it was fun trying!
Here she is in glorious technicolour!
Very happy to complete my portrait of Sylvia. The small smudges of paint on her palette are from her own palette.
