No not yet. Sometime next year. My plan is to take photos to use as my own references and then paint them. I feel like using someone else’s photo as a reference is something I could show but if someone wanted to buy it I wouldn’t want to do that.
It’s less pressure to get every feature right and I can just enjoy the experience.
The few times I’ve done famous people it takes a lot of time to get all the details right like the thickness of the eye lids or the depth of the oral commissures (the dents at the outside edge of lips) ect. And while I like the final results it’s a lot more time and effort and these I’m just painting too relax and chill.
Thank you! That’s what I loved most about the reference.
She reminds me of one of my childhood friends, when we were young. The light play is phenomenal, my friend.
That’s awesome, and thank you!
You’re welcome, and as always, the thanks belongs to you, for sharing your talent with us.
Did you have your art show? My apologies for not recalling the time frame you stated.

Ah I understand, and the subject may not appreciate it, either. Thanks for the update.
Exactly. Unless they’re a famous person who’s already given away their likeness to the public. Which the models I use don’t fit.
TBH, I am glad you don’t. 🤍
