208 faces

Every time I finish a portrait I add it to a grid of 13 portraits- and each time I finish a 13 portrait grid I add it to a grid of 16 squares. I just completed my latest 16 square grid so here are my last 208 portraits.

Van

Van drawn/painted with watercolour and coloured pencils.

Vic

To mask or not to mask? I used masking fluid (which I don’t often use) to block out the light areas for this painting but ended up with very hard paint edges that I really don’t like. I also got a bit lost with the hair. I paint so rarely these days that I feel like I’ve lost a lot of my skills. Guess that means I need to paint more.

Rhayane

Rhayane in watercolour and coloured pencil.

Hugh

I like to know the names of people I draw, even though I’m usually drawing from a photo on the Sktchy app. This is usually fine because people mostly post selfies. But people do also post photos of friends and family and they don’t always add the person’s name in the caption. So in these cases I invent a name.

The inspiration photo for this portrait was posted by Laura and I’m guessing that this person is her partner (but I could be wrong). A way she didn’t note his name so I’ve invented the name Hugh for him. Say hello to the anonymous guy I’ve christened Hugh!

Izumi

I haven’t used watercolour for a while so it was good to get my paints out for this portrait.
