#28 of the Fifty Faces
Tuesday, April 28, 2015
John Singer Sargent was right!
Sargent also said that every time he painted a portrait, he lost a friend. I am safe, since none of the faces I am making are commissions and no one has to pay for their portrait unless he or she wants it. Phew!

Finished today

I am thinking of offering a class. "Painting Portraits from Photographs". Do you think that there would be enough interest to start that live in the studio? I already have 10 online classes for drawing and painting faces. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/21068
I appreciate all the photos that people are sending to me. It seems to
be time to specify what I am looking for again. No babies, small
children, grinning smiles, small, or cloudy snapshots with lots of
background. I will choose the faces that have interesting character and
clear details.
Please keep sending photos
I am still getting photos that are too small and without enough details.

A Change of Plans
I still plan to have an exhibition in my home gallery of the finished faces and publish a book. The portraits till be available for purchase for $425 + shipping. This is less than half of my usual price.
People have been sending me photos and some have been wonderful and many others I can't use because they are too small, too cloudy, no contrast or facial details. I can not interpret a face in paint that I can not see clearly.
Here are a couple of photos that are good examples of what I can use.
