Deano

Our model last week was Deano. He's a great model but I find it more interesting to do his whole body than just his face. I don't think his face has enough character. I like some wrinkles as a challenge. lol Someone decided to pose him with a snow shovel as a prop. It sort of works.


I think I'm done with the February challenge. I went to finish the next subject on the list which I had already started, and I couldn't find the painting. I have too many to do to catch up at this point. My enthusiasm for the items on the list is gone. It at least the project gave me about 14 new ATCs for my exchange with my art group next week.

  1. You did a fantastic job, Joan! The shovel is a great added prop and he sits very naturally on the chair.

  2. Ah Joan you do such a super job with capturing people from life. Had to smile when you thought he didn't have enough wrinkles. :)! Have a great day. Hugs!

  3. The pose for the portrait is great and you did a super job with it Joan. After the 30 days challenge in January I am not surprised that you have lost your enthusiasm for the February one. I did enjoy seeing your ATCs and hope you enjoy the break. Have a great day.

    1. Thanks, Val! LOL I am still painting/sketching...just not doing the subjects from the list. It was getting to feel like a chore.
