I have been a little lost with painting lately, I keep starting, but then set pieces aside unfinished. Unsure of where I want them to go, or getting bored and wishing to move onto the next? Or is it because I have so many ideas, I just want to do them all before I forget? I have no idea, probably a combination of the above. Well this weekend I set to a catch up of these strangers lost in the bottom drawer. They are all painted using reference photos from Sktchy app, completed with a combination of ink and watercolour. I feel relieved that they are now complete, out of the drawer, and filed.

Thank you Margaret, I hate having things unfinished, it became so many that it is hard to feel fresh…I still have three more unfinished paintings, so just catching up now 😀

Fantastic selection! The accessories in their respective possession are all marvellously done too. I’m especially fond of ‘Man’ – the texture really works well; a handsomely laid-back expression and fab hair! 😉

Thank you Jacob, so pleased you like ‘ man’ I was pulled to him because of his hair, I kept it simple and added an overlay with cling film for texture, it took well on hotpress paper. 😀 Much better looking in the photo than my painting, lol

Bravo! It’s such a great feeling to finish isn’t it. And it’s so hard to pick up and finished something you’ve put in the drawer. They are all great 👍

I enjoy seeing how you treat various aspects (hair, skin, expression) – what wonderful portraits. Nice collection! How many would you say you’ve done so far?

Thank you Cynthia, I have painted 37 on Sktchy app, with a few additional portraits of other people and friends, it’s been a great app for practice, I am certainly less afraid of the human form these days 😀

These came out fantastic Rebecca! So glad you finished them. I also go through getting stuck for the same reasons you described. sometimes I just power through to get it done. I really prefer setting them aside and looking at it later with fresh eyes.
