My portrait class homework. I can’t remember who did the original but I suspect they might not feel too threatened

I’ve started an introduction to watercolour painting course. Very much enjoying it.

From todays portrait class. Was meant to be using ink but I had to rescue it with oil pastels

I am loving doing these large Modigliani copies in acrylic on paper. Less worry about getting it right than when using oil on canvas.

This is my third copy/version inspired by a wonderful Mary Fedden painting. This is largest 16x10 and I hope the last.

I’m enjoying this. Started as a copy of a Mary Fedden but getting a life of its own

Ive been painting less than a year and am fascinated by the process. Although obvs I am putting oil on canvas it can feel like the figure is behind and I’m finding ways to bring them to the surface. Do others have this experience?
This one just beginning to appear I think
