Burnt Umber is Fun

 Using archived photos from my phone. All 9x12. 




The first one,  my youngest grandson at a younger age, looks like him

  1. These look like they're fun to do--and it's amazing how good value studies look. Yes, I recognize your grandson from a painting Alan did! And is that last one you as a little girl? These have such personality. You'll have to get a new tube of burnt umber soon at this rate.

  2. The first three have a very human quality about them, while last one looks like it was painted from a photo. Maybe it’s the pose but I also think it’s something about how you painted the eyes in the first three. They’re very arresting portraits. I really like the third one, the way the hair and shirt are painted.

  3. I think I have seen you in that cowboy hat before. I like the two middle women, but the first guy, he just looks too pouty.

  4. Good work doing monochromatic portrait sketches.
