Wow! 22 days! Only 8 more left to go in my painting Paul Newman project. I have absolutely loved doing this, and think it has helped my portrait painting tremendously.
Tonight I started on the painting really late, and had very little time. The angle of his face was really unusual. I don't think I got it right. I did like the composition though, because usually I just paint a great big face, and this time, I put more of the background and body in the painting. It's hard to get much in a 6x8 - ha! I'm looking forward to doing some larger work when I finish this project.
While I was painting this, I was thinking what perfect hair he had, and the profile of a Greek god. I picked a good subject to paint. ;)
