Another Christmas Commission
These two are being delivered today to the father, giving this to his wife for Christmas. I got the commission at a "shop night" at his large software company, he is one of the managers. He asked this morning, "did any of your artist friends see them yet and what did they think?" Well I told him they have been in my studio, but will be delivered to the gallery this afternoon. It is hard to get the color and brightness right on my screen. The color and tonal range are more accurate in the boy's portrait. They are graphite/charcoal/white pastel on Canson MiTienes Moonstone paper.
I really did not enjoy these two, again I had to go with terrible photos, The boy's was his senior pic and the girl's was a FLASH photo she sent me (she send me twenty pics, none of them good) So, again this was the best I had to work with. I think these are the last commissions I do without good reference, my own photo shoot and sitting with the subject myself to do a quick sketch (this is the best way to reach maximum results I am proud of)
Nonetheless, I would like to get your feedback before I take them to the gallery. I really appreciate it. Last night I came very close to deciding to give the money back to the client!
