Studio Practice

This is the latest picture of the ever patient Paul Jennings from today’s portrait practice session.

Portrait practice with Paul Jennings (water based oils on canvas 40cm x 50cm approx)

Portrait practice with @PaulJennings (acrylic on canvas 50cm x 60cm approx 3.5hrs)

This is another portrait of Paul Jennings painted in Acrylic on Board (61cm x 51cm over approx 5 hours. I used a new lighting setup using three separate LED light strips on the subject, palette and canvas in an attempt to ensure a consistent colour temperature (see picture below). They are probably a bit too cool (being 6500K), but they certainly made for a pleasant painting environment.

This is a first attempt at painting Paul Jennings, who has very kindly agreed to sit for some portrait practice sessions.  Hopefully he won’t mind too much that at this stage he looks a bit like Sean Connery… Shorry Paul!
