Teeth
This was an interesting exercise. The reference is in black and white, but it is quite overexposed, leaving not much in the way of value, and no colour clues, so I had quite a lot of room for interpretation. The teeth were quite a challenge, because of the small size of the paper, but I…

Old and New
I finished a sketchbook today. Yay! It’s an A4 spiral bound that I think I started all the way back in 2013, so it has been picked up and abandoned a number of times, and it has a lot of different things going on. I went through a short phase a couple of years ago…

This Week’s Theme Is…
Challenging expressions. Day51/100 I’m tempted to just stick with this one reference photo for the week, as I think I can get a lot out of this one. I’ve chosen a few for the week, tho, just to carry on with the experiment of planning and theming. I really wanted to be working on a…

Fifty Days Fifty Portraits
Day 50 of the 100 Day Project and here are all fifty portraits. There was one portrait that I completed over two days because I was having a pain issue, and there was another day early on where I was so appalled at what I painted that I painted a second portrait, so I’m including…
