My First Ever Portrait in Oils 6" X 8"



I had a blast doing this.  The colour is off a bit and I missed any likeness but as a first attempt at a portrait with oil paint I am quite pleased.  The fact that I was working from a photo taken by Jack at an odd angle with my iPad didn't help me much.


I think that I am going to find oil painting much easier than watercolours but I have been wrong before.  The only down side of oils is the cleanup afterwords and I am getting better at that so it isn't quite the chore that I thought that it was.
