Pauline Adair - Portrait Workshop

Today I attended a Pauline Adair portrait workshop, with the Samford Art Group.  This is the second workshop that I've done with Pauline....the first one she taught was on 'Nudes'.  As with the 'Nude' workshop, this portrait class is turning out to be just as good....loving what I'm learning!

.....Pauline doing a demo, & some of her amazing portraits in the background. 

I decided to paint a portrait of my Grandfather.  He is 93 years old next month...can't wait for him to see it finished.  Above is a few 'planning' sketches. 

.....under-painting 

....starting to take shape, & I feel I've got a pretty good 'likeness'. 

Looking forward to next weeks class to finish it off!
