January 2012. Portraits in progress part 2...

Also on the easel...

( work in progress ) we have a 16" x 20" contemporary portrait of Rhubarb in oils on canvas.

I have painted a couple of layers of paint on both the background and Rhubarb, but we have quite a few more layers of paint to add until she is finished to perfection.

Some feedback from my client, Louise so far...

Hi Steve,

It's looking great so far, you have captured her well! She is like a canine version of Eyore, so I didn't want her to look mean in any way, she looks great.

Thanks for the updates.

Louise

Watch this space for more progress updates on Rhubarb's portrait and feedback on the batch of Christmas commissions...

January 2012. Portraits in progress...

Here we have a little 12" x 10" portrait of Molly, painted in artist's watercolours on heavyweight watercolour paper.

She was produced as a surprise present for my client ( Nicola's) mother in Law and I am looking forward to seeing some photos the painting framed in the near future.

Quite a difficult commission as Nicola and Steve could only supply a few small photos of Molly that they had, we could not arouse suspicion or spoil the surprise by taking any new photos!

Some feedback so far...

Thanks Nicola
