Some recent portrait sketches, all 45 mins to 2 hours.
All oil on Arches oil paper apart from the lady in a hat which was on a cereal packet that was sized with rabbit skin glue. I quite liked mid-grey tone of the cardboard.
From life class, incredible cheek bones.
Profiles are tricky so I was pleased with the likeness.
Captured his sad look, perhaps got a bit muddy.
Probably the longest of these and repainted most of the rhs of the face in the last 5 mins!
Pleased with the shoulders, good chunky marks
The sitters were either at Clifton Arts club who have a Saturday morning portrait model/still life session once a month or at the weekly life class sessions in Ashley Down.
