Acrylic - Girl on the Beach

Medium: Acrylic
Paper: Stretched Canvas
Size: 27.5 × 39.5 inches (700 mm x 1000 mm)
Duration: 10 − 12 hrs over three days

The reference I used for this painting comes from a fellow RB member Ademac and his photo of a model Halo (Thank you kindly Ademac for giving me permission to use your photo)

I had, in my studio, one fairly large canvas, and it was always in my mind to attempt this particular painting on a larger scale (on this canvas) funny how you seem to know how one particular canvas is far suited to a certain painting than another. I was fortunate enough to find a few days together to attempt it. I spent about 10-12 hours over three days and am quite happy with the result, which I feel is a fairly accurate interpretation of the photo.

Self Portrait - Finished!

Medium: Acrylic
Paper: Stretched Canvas
Size: 20"x 16
Duration 10-12 hours over three days

This is my own personal Dorian Grey which I recently completed for a monthly challenge at my local art group in Killingworth, to do a self portrait. Out of about 18 entries in the challenge, I came joint second (not too bad, if I say so myself LOL) I really enjoyed painting this, my second attempt at my self portrait, it seemed to flow easier onto the canvas than my first attempt (which to be honest, was when I began my painting journey over twelve months ago. My latest self portrait attempt, seems (in my opinion) to be a vast improvement on this first one, not only in accuracy but in technique.
