Shep's "Dante" takes shape

With "Dante" I'm combining the Grisaille and Warm/Cool stages.  Most of the painting this weekend has been in the cool range with his beautiful coat.  The warm will come with his nose and smile.  For his background we'll try an outdoor green first and see how it looks.

Is this a happy face or what?  Just makes you feel good.

About Me

My photo
My name is Bob Shepherd, but when I paint I'm known as "Shep". I love to paint people. Happy people. Sad people. People dancing. People in contemplation. Old people. Young people. Lately I've gotten into painting new things and I'm enjoying the challenge. Flowers and still life's have been fun. My blog is here to show you what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I'm doing your commission you can follow the progress of your "PortraitbyShep". If you'd like me to do your portrait please notify me through the blog. Please enter your email above and I hope you enjoy the blog. Shep
