I just got painting on a real piece again. The image is inspired from a photo i took of an old man on a subway train in Berlin last Christmas time. I felt bad for my wife who had to ask the guy if i could take his picture (my German is horrible). The canvas was a lot larger than most of the single portraits i do, and i was much looser in my initial drawing than usual. This will definitely be the direction my next series takes, less representational and a little more emotional. I love that he could either be a homeless man or God.
After the first round of painting
Here is the piece after about 30 min of painting, there was a light sketch underneith i freehanded in about 7 min while looking at his image on my computer screen
