I have finished working on this portrait last week and scanned it just yesterday. I think it worked out very well. It has been a couple of weeks in the making and I took my time purposely. I don’t like to rush paintings, especially when they are larger in size. This portrait is 12 x 20 inches (30 x 50 cm). In the painting process, I started with a sketch using just raw umber, as usual. Then I worked in all the other colours, first loosely and then in the detailing. I used burnt sienna, burnt umber, a little yellow ochre, ultramarine, cadmium yellow and titanium white. I mixed my own black using ultramarine and raw umber with burnt umber. I hope you all like it…
