Portrait – one of three – #1
I am painting Thomas, Hannah and Jake for a friend. This is Jake. Siblings to follow.
I was able to free up the paint application a wee bit here. Some loose brushwork with added palette knife scrapings and spreadings.
It’s refreshing to return to a sketchy look which is more relaxing and, as a bonus, it’s also much quicker to paint.


Fantastic work Davy; looking forward to seeing the other two.
Hi David,
was a victim of a variant of the dreaded lurgi before Xmas and new year and didn’t want to spread it about. I was planning to visit your studio tomorrow morning. Really admire your portrait of Jake, especially the use of a pallet knife.

You are so immensely talented. Mad respect.
Hi Mark, thank you kindly. Really enjoyed the traffic post and congrats on getting “freshly pressed”
Cheers
Jake looks like a seriously engaging boy!
