I should really have avoided the shape errors with this one but my only excuse is the sudden death of a good artist friend has upset me.

I took a few pictures of him and if you would like I could scan them and sent them in an email to you.<br /><br />He made me an honorary member of his "tribe" because he said that I looked like his relatives. artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08815102383391759565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891643331061427318.post-79446734036846429232012-08-22T14:58:44.388-07:002012-08-22T14:58:44.388-07:00Peter, think in shapes and values as the likeness ...Peter, think in shapes and values as the likeness will just happen. Also recheck your measurements--top of ear <br />level with brow line, underside place of nose (septum) level with bottom of ear lobe. That too will contribute to likeness. I love these paintings that you're doing. They are full of character and challenge.

Colour and tone are the two most important things for me in painting (as well as perspective, form and composition etc!!!!)but they are what I have been concentrating on over the last couple of years..... so god exercise!!!Judith Farnworth Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466625674796659185noreply@blogger.com
