What’s on your easel (or in your sketchbook) this month?
Show a finished portrait or one in any stage of progress (WIP = Work in Progress). This thread is for showcasing your work; others will only critique your work if you request it.
So please show us what you’ve been up to this month. We’d love to see it.
Note: If you welcome Comments and/or Critique, let us know when you post (ie: “Cs & Cs welcome”)
Even if you have already shown it in the main portraiture forum, you are invited to showcase it in this thread, also, as this thread will remain in the Library Archives. (We welcome Self-portraits… anything portrait, in all mediums)
And be sure to check out previous Portrait Galleries in the Archives. Lots of great work in there!
So… let’s get those portraits set up in the gallery….
Cheers, Lauren

September 1, 2011 at 2:01 pm #518920Both of them are great, the structural brushstrokes work really well in the first painting and I can see the Paul Wright influence in the second, the person is “glimpsed” rather than exposed as Wright says, the colours in it are great too, the touches of blue make the flesh appear more vibrant

AndyMcC – thanks, yes the second painting was inspired by Paul Wright. And also Ann Gale – though her methods are very different (slow, methodical painting over several months), I like her fragmented portraits and figures:
