Studio Portrait Painting

This is the last sitting for this painting.

I didn’t add too much this week – just made the background a bit darker.

I then painted a quick portrait in oil on paper, which is at the bottom of this post.

Studio Portrait Painting

Two stages of my most recent painting.

I am now laying thick oil paint on top of last weeks foundations ….

I have mostly used a palette knife, which is wonderfully liberating ….

Looking forward to one more sitting next week.

Studio Painting update

As promised, I have photographed the next stage of my painting ….

I am now laying thicker oil paint on top of last weeks foundations ….

This is a really enjoyable stage, where I am painting slightly more slowly and looking at the details more closely.
