Process

Sometimes... No, all the time, I re-paint stuff. Usually completely.

This one I ended up gessoing over so I could start again.

I`ll get it right someday.

Till then.

Portrait again

Still not finished but some more progress.

Self portrait progress 3

Another couple hours work. It's getting there. Expression needs a bit more...

Who's theat handsome man with the camera? :D

Self portrait progress 2

Another run at it. Expression needs... work. Was mostly fighting with the colours and values.

Self portrait progress

Probably put in at least 3 or 4 hours so far, but not quite sure...

Time just seems to slip away when I get going.

Done from a mirror pilfered from my mother. (The round fish shaped one on my wall would not do for this one!)

An example of how "amateur" I am, my pallet always ends up an absolute mess.

A little pair of shoes

Here are some progress pics and the finished product.

It was difficult with such small details and subtle tone and colour differences, but my mom loves it. :P

She progress

I cannot begin to capture her beauty Not through stain nor scar on the page My eyes are not strong enough, nor is my arm Even with all my heart not a fraction For she has more beauty then I can even comprehend Only a fraction can any man see For a woman's true beauty is in her heart.

This is pretty much from start to finish in 5 hours or so.
