"Quiet Retreat" -- Sold


I have been reading books about the “Tonal Value” as the very important aspect of a painting. This is one of my exercises of the value placement. This painting is dominated by the medium values. There are at least 4 values here.

This is so cool - I have submitted two paintings - "Harbor" and "Gary" for the MGAL Spring Show and I just found out that both paintings were selected by the Judge. The show will be on May 2 - May 28 at Germantown Performing Arts Centre.

"Gary"

I just finished this painting last week. I am thinking about take it to the MGAL Spring Art show. I need to look up the entry deadline, hope it's not too late to enter the show.


"Grandpa"

This is grandpa Glen. He hasn't had chance to see his own portrait yet. This is a harder one to paint since the most part of his face is in the shadow and he has very dark skin tone. But turned out it just looks like him.

"Noah"

I started studying portraits a few months ago. I am still trying to get familiar with the new oil palette. This one is my very first portrait in oil.
