Incognito

I'm still having fun with noses. The variety of shapes, the color of the skin, and the elements that are part of our features are much more diverse when one starts looking close enough to paint. This painting was completed with oil paints and is 4x6 inches on a canvas panel--just about life size.

Tension

Today's painting is another one of my practices painting the nose. When I painted this guy I was struck by the tension that was on his forehead and his long wirey eyebrows. Getting up close and focusing on just a part of his face is a great exercise. Now I am busily cropping all my photos so I can concentrate on noses. It is amazing how even a nose in isolation can still express intense emotion. I hope you are enjoying viewing these little nose specimen as much as I am enjoying painting them.

Nose Practice

Portrait painting has never been a skill that about which I feel very confident, so today I spent some time practicing the painting of noses. It was fun. I didn't worry about getting all the features correct, but simply concentrated on noses. This one is my favorite. It is 4x6 inches on a canvas panel. With any painting, one gets better with practice. Now I need to try some mouths and eyes. Eventually I might be able to put them all together.
