Speed painting and stuff
Jun. 19th, 2018 10:16 pmToday I went to an expressive portraits, speed painting in acrylics workshop - it was a lot of fun and TOTALLy outside of my comfort zone... but then so was the watercolour essentials workshop on Saturday. So what, you may well ask, IS my comfort zone? Heh heh. I'll tell you my comfort zone, folks. It's snuggled on my sofa, asleep.
Back to today though...
I had a vague idea that I might be able to do something for one of the upcoming challenges, and my lovely friend Lois, who runs the workshop, messaged me to ask if I had any references I wanted her to print for me, so I pinged her off four photos of - you guessed it - Jensen and Jared.
For my first painting, I tried Jared. We had to pick a piece of mounting board to paint on, and like my other workshop with Lois, the idea was to have a mid tone background colour you could then use, and the painting would start with a pale yellow to pick out all the highlights. Then the other colours could be added and the darks last. There's no drawing, except with the paint brush.
This was the result, with the reference pic.( Read more... )
