Oil painting study, only black and white, Christopher Walken as young, layer II. Think I will focus on the eyes next to get it more right. Using a black and white photo on screen for this. #art #oilpainting #artstr #portrait
The likeness is definitely getting there.
Havenโt tried to paint faces at all and just tried this. Not the best reference photo to begin with. Itโs not done but the mentioned likeness ISNโT there in my example I would say.
Freaking hard ๐
So much respect ๐ซก
I think your painting is really good. ๐Keep doing what you do. I found great help in the old trick of squinting with my eyes to see what should come forward and what parts to go back into shade. You should be proud of this, respect back to you ๐ซก In your piece I can see it as completed as well if you decide too๐
Thank you so much. Have to work on other stuff for a while. The other one is at my parents place 3000km away. But I can practice that eye squinting some more ๐ ๐
Thank you! ๐ So far so good on this one but I have tried similar projects before but have a tendency to make them look worse after a while. Probably just need more practice and fine tuning of my process. This time I tried to work in blocks and all over as a starting point instead of beeing to detailed to begin with. I think it helped. Yes it is hard ๐
