My brother Harris, once again.:p

[maria_khurram]

Now a days Harris is been shifted to Karachi and we really miss him and I am addicted to paint his portraits...lol. But he is a delight to paint.

Here it goes, in his office. The ref photo is camera mounted flash photo but there was not anyother choice.

According to my style, I will paint the eyebrowes and smaller hair on forehead after completing the portrait.

A closeup.


My progress so far.

[fugitive]

That is nice and I can see your method too, good work.

Maria, you are such a master of color! You've done an excellent job on your brother's portrait....but I'm beginning to think you could find wonderful colors in a three week old corpse, too.

[maria_khurram]

Thanks all. Will update soon.

[Elvira]

Nicely done Maria!!

Maria, this is turning out beautifully. A suggestion, change it's background. Its not working with this composition.

Good looking young man and a perfect subject to paint!
I realize this is a WIP but the right eye (viewers left) seems to have too much of a droop to it making it look smaller than the other one. It could be the highlight on the upper lid is coming down too far. ;o) I know this will be fantastic when finished.

Beautiful tone and colour work, go on, admit it, you have painted before haven't you !! Excellent work
