RE: Portrait of Kate, oil on linen
howdy from Texas arthurgain! This portrait is so real and life-like. If this is a real person I bet she's thrilled with the results! Are you saying that it took you just 3 hours to paint the top one?
Do you paint portraits for a side income?
Thanks! I tend to do most crucial part wet-on-wet, if I don't like the outcome I can just wipe it off and start over on the next session. It's easier to add details or background later if face is painted nicely. And nothing can save the portrait if main part is not good. It should appeal with or without finishing touches.
Yes, I do some portrait commissions now and then.
well sir you are very gifted and steemit is lucky to have you! Thanks so much for the explanation.
