I’ve been all over the artistic map lately, jumping from writing to drawing comics, to painting portraits, to learning guitar and even squeezing in a fire show last weekend. Maybe I should round things out by taking up interpretive dance?
The portrait in the last post, by the way, is the lovely and musically talented Teresa Miller. Teresa was a very patient model -a pleasure to paint and always willing to sit past the point of comfort while I kept finding one or two more little things to change. I do think she fell asleep a couple times though.
I also should have mentioned that this portrait is life size and done more or less with the "sight-size" technique, which you can read about here.
Here’s one more photo of the painting on an easel that gives an idea of the size of the canvas.
