Jeremy

As an artist one must take advantage of the resources one has at his fingertips. As such I decided to have my friend model for me as I avoid doing any serious paintings. I don't know what it is about simple portraits that interests me. It is by no means an artistic or technical accomplishment, though my skill becomes ever so sharper with each piece that leaves my brush. I just simply find satisfaction in them.

Jeremy has gone through three short painting sessions and seems to be coming along nicely. I'm not sure what to do with the background. I suppose I'll just keep glazing the hell out of it. The shadows also seem to need a bit of work. Alas I am "le talented". This shall be a good one. Next I will be more ambition and paint a 30 x 40 of my friend Miss Jasmine.
