I went back to this project first thing this morning This is a portrait I am painting of this couple on vacation in Greece, on a motorbike, and wearing helmets and sunglasses. I am using their vacation photo as a reference. (I am working in acrylic paint on a 14 x 18 inch canvas.) Yesterday I did some work with the woman's helmet. Afterward, late last night, I looked at the painting again and realized that the woman's head needed to be tilted just a bit more. I am glad that I figured that out, but since it is a bit tricky to fix, I drew the corrections first with a piece of pink conte crayon. Then I got out the brown and white paint and made the changes. I was happy with the changes. I also made some more changes to the woman's face, hair, and helmet. Since I had some white left over, I added a touch of yellow and painted in some background. At this point, I am pretty happy with the likenesses of both subjects. So I need to add a bit more color to the faces, add detail to the sunglasses and helmets, and finish painting the clothing and background.
