Graphite On Stonehenge Paper

8 x 10

This was a difficult portrait to complete due to the fact that B.J.'s face was in the shadows and the sun shone on him from behind. Even though I knew it might not be very successful, I did it as a challenge. When something feels uncomfortable to do it actually helps in developing skills further. It takes you out of your comfort zone.

This is the largest portrait I have ever done. I have done this picture of my son before but only on an 8 x 10 size. I loved the size and plan on doing a lot more in the future at this size. I have also started doing my own matting and framing. When you go this big it is very difficult to buy store frames to fit and it is much more convenient to start doing it yourself.

I love seeing my son experience those things that will become fond memories in his adulthood. I can remember always baking with my mom and being lucky enough to be able to lick the mixers after making a coke or mixing cookie dough.

Graphite Drawing On Stonehenge Paper

8 x 10

This is another drawing of my son. I kept the drawing very loose. I used bold pencil strokes and did not polish the drawing off by blending the graphite. I was more concerned with the shadows and creating light and dark more so than with the actual portrait.

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a long time. I have been caught up doing a few commissions and busy getting ready for Christmas. I thought I had better get this portrait of my son completed due to the fact it is a Halloween portrait of sorts. I hate going into the a new year with unfinished pieces laying around.
