Background
Had a busy and productive day. Riding lesson - a tough one for Bruno and me - at 9 AM. Then I moved 20 bales of hay, to make room for another year's supply. Did a bit of painting. Had a wonderful nap. Back to painting.
My riding instructor is the person who introduced me to Andy, when I was looking for a new hay source. I showed her the painting after our lesson, and she said, yes, it did look like him, but needed to be rougher looking. So I spent my painting time today roughing up Andy, and I think it worked quite well.
As always, your comments are most welcome. |
The rough looking Andy looks great! Love his grizzly beard!
ReplyDeleteLove his wrinkle and facial espression too!
Napping after doing hay sounds like a good idea!
love

Incredible finish, Kathryn. I love the roughness in his face. It gave him a beautiful finish. I love the light hitting the right side of his face as well..You should be so proud of this one!!

Hello Kathryn:) I like him a lot more this rough! It fits the person:) I love the way you did this portret. Very nice:)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea... Have the entire sequence in one post. I have learned a lot about your process. Thanks for sharing! Some of the more subtle adjustments are more evident when you see the entire sequence and compare two continuous steps side by side :-)
ReplyDeletejust wonderful. Sooooo enjoy your processes
