Portrait: The waiting room.

The waiting room. Oil on treated pdf board.
The pose was for two sessions; it’s been worked on at home, using glazes to heighten the colour and finish the background. Originally the whole painting was a mix of blue greys. I’ve used a Palamino blackwing pencil for the details which gives the work an uptight feel. I’ve made him look a touch petulant.

Here’s some details of the finished work.

1. The painting after 90 minutes. 2. The painting at the end of the first session, around 2 hours 30 minutes. 3. Half way through the second session. 4. At the end of the second session. 5. A photograph of the chair for reference.
