Scream, it's Hallowe'en!

 A couple more postcard people, oils on card

Potrait Artist of the Year World Record attempt

 Joined the online crowd for this one-hour event, painting Sir Lenny Henry. The online experience wasn't great (but I suspect the in-person experience was pretty frustrating too!). Oils on paper.

First image is my final painting, after a small amount of tweaking and a with better photo in decent light. Second is my effort in the hour  :-)

Working up a life drawing

 Oils on paper. I did the initial pencil drawing from life, and also blocked in the highlights using oil bars in the life drawing session. Continued with the painting back at home.
