portraits stage 3

I’ve cooled the shadows in Holly’s face, and worked on the backgrounds though not quite done with them. Still need to study Holly’s likeness a little more…tweak the mouth and the eyes(?) to get the likeness back a little more. Need to wait for it to completely dry before trying that though. Here’s how they’re looking today.

works in progress - oil on canvas - two x 16 x 20″

    I think the portraits are coming along great! You really have Jeff’s likeness, and I love the colour and light/shadows in Holly’s peice. Can’t wait to see how they turn out!
    Love you

  4. Hi Rachie,
    guess what Jeff liked his so well, he is now using it as his profile pic on facebook! I feel that is an incredible compliment.
