The Test, 50 x 60cm, Acrylic on linen, 2008

I did this yesterday as an entry in these series of paintings from sketches I do on public transport.




Working like this is quite a test, sometimes I loose the spontaneity of the sketch, sometimes I just can't get the drawing right. Also, without the colour it is a nightmare. But I am up for this challenge!




I might still revisit this one. I just want to get this blog off board.

So here I'll be posting the sketch and the painting for each one.

WATCH THIS SPACE

This is a new blog that I am starting today and would be a continous painting of people I have sketched everyday from my sketch books past and present. It would be a way of taking the sketches I do a step further. Hopefully people interested in purchasing the pieces would be able to. Faces are Powerful and I have sketched so many since 2004!


Hope I won't run out of steam.........
