Portrait of Us (Pencil Sketch as of Dec. 11, 2016)


I am going to be doing a double portrait. I am working from a vacation photo of a couple riding motor bikes on vacation in Greece. So they are wearing helmets and sunglasses. The portrait is going to be a painting, acrylics on canvas, 14 x 18.  Earlier this week, I was working out the composition. Today I started a pencil sketch, just a study, a way to get to know the faces better before I start painting.  I worked on this for about an hour and then had to stop. I feel like I am slowly moving towards a likeness, but am not there yet. To be continued.
