I got bored with this, so it’s not finished. Sketched on drawing paper based on a photo from 2013, then transferred on to 300-lb. cold-pressed watercolor paper. (At that point, I’m already bored, ha-ha!) I did a wash of an orange mix with matte medium, and then painted with Mars Black, messing up on the shadows.
This work is from my “Painting Portraits with Karl Staub” class on Sktchy. I’ve finally gotten around to beginning that on-demand class. The idea was to use gouache — which I don’t have — so I used watercolor. I used the 140 lb. cold-pressed paper in my “Visual Journal” (bought months ago and never used until now.) The paper buckled — ugh. Oh well, it was all in fun anyway.
