April 24, 2015, Fifty Faces Continues

April 24, 2015, Fifty Faces Project, half way through

This face was fun to paint. What wonderful character lines in his face.Number 25. Now only 25 more to paint...

Seeing errors though a camera

When I think a face is finished, I always photograph it. It is interesting to me that by looking at the photo, I can see if there are errors, or something needs to be changed. It proves my theory that the eye stops seeing the details after some time in the studio. The same thing works when I check the paintings first thing in the morning. I almost immediately see what needs to be changed.

If you want to send your photos, please continue. I have a pile of face photos, but I am looking for more. I go through the pile each day and decide what face I want to start that morning.
