First Portrait - 6x8, Oil on Gessoed Hardboard
I've been watching portrait videos by Jeff Watts and Morgan Weistling and thought to myself, "That doesn't look too hard!" So, I set out to see if I could actually paint a likeness of a human being and make it look somewhat like the human being I used as my subject.
I'm pretty happy with this little study! There are some details that I'm thinking "Hmmmm..." about, but all in all not a bad first portrait, if I do say so myself.
I also discovered that I really enjoy painting the human head, particularly the face and eyes.
Maybe I have a future in portraiture! Perhaps in the future, hehe! I have a lot of work to do!
Enjoy!
