this coming weekend i'll be doing
a "portrait painting bootcamp"
with artist Dee Donaldson
she requests that we take our own photographs
for reference,
if possible of someone we don't know at all
or
at least not well.
i decided to work with this photograph.
this is Stan, a gentle homeless man
who lives around this area
Dee also requested that we do a charcoal
underpainting in preparation for the course
on a big canvas,
mine is 80cm by 100cm.
this is my sketch ready for saturday,
Stan looks a little rounder than in real life.
it might just be me trying to ease his circumstances...
we will be working on that one painting for 3 full days
and i can feel i'm going to be pushed way out of my comfort zone...
can't wait
;)
