Photo taken right after completion and while the oils were still wetAs usual this portrait painting of Sienna is on top of a pencil drawing. I have chosen not to make a post of the pencil drawing this time and go straight to the oil portrait.

Made by pencilColor mixing First I put down my colors which consisted of Cadmium G ..read more

Portrait painting of the Argentinian Guy I met this guy randomly on the street sittin in front of a tattoo shop playing his guitar. He looked like a type and had his hair and beard grown to an impressive length.
