Sebastian
Hi folks
I have been painting in pastel since the beginning of this year and have recently changed to oil. Last weekend I intended painting a portrait in oil but got dragged away to a BBQ. Rather than sit and listen to the ladies talking about summer sales and fashion, I got out my pastels again and painted our hosts son. This is Sebastian. he has an angelic face but his personality is quite mischievous. My goal was to capture this personality in his expression. I didn't finish the portrait in the time (about 3 hours) but I think i was well on the way. It was a very bright sunny day, and I posed Seb in the shade under an apple tree. Hopefully this weekend I will get another session with Seb , and finsh the portrait.
Nupastel on Mi Teintes 25 x 19. .
Incidentally this pic was taken in my studio with my new Nikon D80 camera, 18-135mm lens set on 70mm and under standard flouro lighting. The camera was set on auto with auto focus. THe colours are very accurate to the actual painting.
