I am getting started on a new commission, a portrait of four children. My source is a vacation photo supplied by their father. At this point, I am sketching on canvas with conte crayon, just trying to get the layout right and establish the positions of the figures. Maybe you can tell I am working out proportions, which change as children age. The figures might seem to be positioned too low on the canvas, but that is because I am leaving room for the background, which will be a castle.
