Freehand oil, I sure have a hard time with the eyes, gotta work on that.

Hi,

I took my spotify playlist and downloaded it all in mp3, because it doesn't change very much and I would like to do away with even a free, arr, spotify.

When I was younger I got my music from the radio, so I am checking that vector, any recommendations?

I found https://radio.garden which is a good start I think.

As a side note, publicity in foreign languages goes so much better on my ear, even American English, "buy this medicine", "contact this lawyer" lol! but it is of course even better with no publicity at all.

Thank you!

My eleventh portrait since Christmas :-)

I decided to completely stop any beforehand outlining (like printing out the photo and copy it over to help with borders and placements of eyes, mouth, nose etc) and drew everything with a paintbrush doing the old "holding out your paintbrush to measure" trick. The first two paintings didn't went very well but I'm kind of happy with this one.

A lot of french ultramarine and phthalo blue was used :-)

Trying out freehanding instead of tracing or using a carbon copy paper.

I added some frames in the background with skies and clouds to lighten up the atmosphere a bit.
