New Painting "Salama"
Hi everyone, here is my new painting. This is my second human portrait and my first of someone other then myself. This painting is 11" x 14" and is acrylic on masonite as usual.
Thanks to my new friend Steve Evans for help with the ref.
cc welcome
Ian

Re: New Painting "Salama"

Re: New Painting "Salama"
If anyone can capture the essence of someone, something in a painting I do believe it is you. This is beyond words. The depth in his eyes catching my attention most but every angle and detail is perfectly stunning. Now this one I would have loved to have seen a WIP on.

Re: New Painting "Salama"
This is an absolutely stunning painting. ( I just love the way you have done the lips by the way). Fantastic skin tones - I am running out of superlatives.
