Close-up...All those medals! Keep them simple. |
Go for the structure. Thanks to Philip De Laszlo for always showing me the way. John Singer Sargent too. I researched both men for their military portraits. |
Keep the paint fresh. This head was painted in two sittings. |
Get the main details going before you ice the cake, i.e. paint all those details. Good photo reference. Do your homework. Look to the masters for inspiration. Study. Study. |
A strong drawing start as the foundation and a nice warm ground to paint some good cools on top. |
