Page from my sketchbook 10"x 8"
I am thinking about converting this into a bigger painting.. maybe with some dramatic background.
This little sketch was based on a photo that I took on one of my trips to countryside in Hampshire.This elderly gentleman was admiring the garden while I admired his white hat and large sunglasses.The sunlight bouncing off his face makes him a good subject. It has been a long time since I have done a proper portrait and it kind of feels scary!
