family portrait

« Tina at the Tiled Palace rusty at drawing »

My team at work set up a wall where everyone posted photos of their family. I thought it would be a great idea for me to paint a family portrait for the wall instead of posting a photo, and it WOULD have been great if I had finished the painting within a reasonable amount of time.

Instead, three months later, I finally get around to finishing it. I did most of the painting work in one day, which is sad because I dragged my feed for so long.

David gave me quick sketch, and I started laying down color, and working on David’s face.

I then took my ridiculously long break from this painting, came back, reworked the poses and added more elements. Finishing in one day was exciting.

This piece is posted on our illustrated portrait studio website, as well as the Red Tie Studios blog. I also added it to my illustration portfolio.

   Thanks, Jose! I may not have captured the great magnitude of his fluff… I should practice more.

    I know how you feel–start a project, put it down for 6 months, pick it up and finish it in a day. That’s how I am with sewing. I’ve been working on a friends’ baby project for 8 months now. I’m only half way done. Hopefully it will be ready by the time the kid is 1. For comparison, I did her other kid’s baby project in like a month.
