Bill B.

 

Bill B.   oil/canvas   14 x 11
This is an oil portrait of Bill B. done as a demonstration for the Hudson Society of Artists.


Painting done as a demonstration for a group comes with its inherent issues:  no preparation; poor lighting; the inevitable turning of the body during the pose; and, most importantly, for me, is my nervousness.  It is difficult to paint and talk at the same time.  Keeping the interest level high with several breaks weights heavily.

This is the result.
