This is a commission piece a did for some friends of mine. And I've got a couple of work in progress shots to boot!
First I drew out the portrait on paper then transfered it to the panel. I then went over all the lines with a brush pen so they wouldn't smudge and disappear once I started adding paint:
I then added a few glazes of acrylic paint to decide on color placement and to start a nice under glow for when I add the oils:
And once I had all the preliminary colors and lines in place I add the oils:
Anniversary Portrait 11x14 Oil on Panel
And there you have it! All done : )
