BB Quick portrait

BB Quick portrait, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. My daily portrait of BB,
done very quickly on Artrage--from life from scratch. One layer.

Thanks. Artrage is fun to play with!

He looks angry. Very expressive!

That's more his Questioning look, or his, "Oh, REALLY?" look.

Thanks! :-D

I painted it from scratch, not from a photo, but from actually looking at him. Cool.

Yes, it's definitely an "Oh really" look!

From scratch! that's fantastic!

My goal is to be able to paint/draw people who really look like who they are. I did this super fast and was pretty pleased with it--it definitely looks like BB! (Not perfect, but close enough!) Often, I make art from photos, so I was pretty pleased to just do it. With no photo.

I'd like to be able to do it both ways.
