Not much to say tonight,
so i'll just share a bit of what i did this week...
a quick detailed sketch of my messy table
Not so bad when i add colour...Photo taken in the daylight
The little angel in the glass bubble (in front of the wooden pencil holder)
belonged to my mother.
She always watches me as I paint. :-)
The plastic bottle was fun to do.
So many reflections in there...
Then a quick charcoal sketch
to warm up for my Tommy Kane portrait...
Tommy made the incredible proposal
to Sketchbook Skool participants
that he was going to publish a book
of his portraits.
So we all went mad
painting his portrait...
Totally generous, totally inspirational,
and just such a refreshing human being.
ALL of the teachers were wonderful.
So here we go...
acrylic on paper
And those of you who know a bit about Tommy
know how much he loves his tiara.
I swear I tried it without, Tommy
and it just wasn't working.
(giggle)...
For those who aren't familiar with his work,
here's a little video of the genius
struttin' his stuff...
