24in X 32in oil on canvas.
This is a painting I have just finished of my old man and I'm thrilled with how it turned out !
Adding the background gives the portrait an immediate sense of realism, which is what I'm trying to achive.
Now i will start to refine the facial features and add detail and values.
Using a light pencil with just suggestive marks, allows me plenty room to make adjustments as I move around the portrait. I'm being careful to work the portrait evenly and not get fixed on any one spot.
A recently commissioned Oil painted family portrait. Oil on canvas.

The quality of work being done in the landscape class is just brilliant, and still a couple of weeks to go!
