Work In Progress, Portrait of My Grandson


This is an update of the progress of the painting I am currently working on.  Portraits are so neat to work on.  So much to learn.  There are many small differences in people's faces that make us all unique.

I am getting closer to finishing him.  Right now I am zeroing in on making the eyes and lips as accurate as I can get them.  Also a few areas on the face need work to correct my mistakes and correct values of the skin tones.  I don't like the left chin shadow.  Gotta fix that.  I like the back ground and will probably leave the t-shirt as is.  Comments are welcome.  What do you think of this?

Tomorrow, God willing, another day in the studio.
