Barb's mom, young and old. by

A bit tricky to get this composition right,. I’m not sure I did, but I hope it does the trick for Barb.

Acrylic ,oil, a touch of pastel and coloured pencil. You can’t get much more of mixed media than that I guess.

    Well I think you did. This is a beautiful work Brian. I amazed how how kept the character lines in her face without making them just look like wrinkles. It is a very complimentary work. Excellent job.

  • Thanks Jim, your comments are greatly appreciated.

    This is a fascinating concept and could start a new trend for such portraits. I hope you get some commission through this.

  • Thanks Dave, but I’ll not hold my breath.

    Now.. you see what I’ve done??? Created a monster I have.. at any rate.. composition excellent.. she’s a bit toooooo pink although that could just be from the scan/photo..
    Her skin tone was olive.. (I know, the photos weren’t that great)

  • When we look at a row of TV’s in a store they often show big differeneces in colour, contrast and definition; it’s the same with computers so what we see on ours might not corrorlate with others. But I do agree that in this case the image is too pink compared with the original. I’ll try to match up the photo with the painting and send it to you again Barb.
