Daily Paintworks Challenge

Well, I have been working on a a horse portrait of my friends horse as of late.  I think that I have finished with this and will post a picture of it, after I deliver it to her.  

Meanwhile....I have have painted from a challenge on Daily Paintworks.  For this challenge  Abe was the model and I could only use Ultramarine blue and burnt umber.  I don't paint many human portraits, so this was fun to try, the limited palette was helpful for me, focusing on value not color...

Not sure what is next on the easel......it will be a surprise to us all!

  2. Thanks Diana, I don't paint many people, I enjoyed this one a lot, next time I think I need to use a warmer color on the face, Abe appears a little cold!
