Mark’s portrait has been a breeze – ha ha, so far. Again the simplified start makes getting into the necessary details easier. While still at a very early stage, and looks rough, it has the push and pull I like and I can feel the whole painting taking on a life of it’s own. In some paintings this has to be worked at a lot and others it seems that all I have to do is have the paint on the brush. I’m looking forward to the next session on this.
I started this drawing a couple weeks ago and now have it at point where it can be shared. Most anyone in BC or Washington State knows Mark is the Meteorologist on Global TV News morning show. He was born and raised under the Kamloops skies.
