Graphic design and portraits

I worked on several graphic design projects today. I plan on marketing my graphic design business more actively as well as my portrait commissions.

It has been a long time since I have posted to my blog. Taking classes in Special Education and teaching art keeps me pretty busy. I hope to get back to communication on a regular basis.

Back to Teaching

High school art is in full swing. I have many talented students this year.

Painting progress

This day I used a 1" round foliage brush. I think it helped. I am still working a lot on the likeness of my Dad. So many of the old photos look washed out...trying to enhance the range of value.

It seems to me that painting daily is easier than posting daily. I need to make it a habit. I added some subtle color to this but still want a retro hand-tinted look.

Started painting today and laying in the values. This will be mostly neutral in color to give the feel of a retro photo.
