Here is a demonstration portrait for Kilmarnock Art Club. I had a lovely time and really enjoyed the night.
This is a smaller version of my big heid from last year.

Big Heid II(again)
I wasn’t satisfied with my second big head self portrait, mainly because of the stupid under the brow stare. So I tried a second layer to see if I could tone it down or even get rid. I couldn’t.
Also, it was worthwhile giving a second layer to what was a two hour painting initially, to find out if I could preserve the spontaneity and freshness. Anyway, a painting to hang on to until I find something else to go on a 60″x42″ stretcher.

I had a second large format self portrait demonstration this morning. Great attendance and hopefully an informative and entertaining session. It really is a bit of a blast to be allowed to do this kind of thing. These demos inform my own process no end.Thanks to all who attended.

Just completed this demo self portrait this morning. Great fun, and went better than I expected. I honestly was prepared for a fail with some laughs but it turned out well.
Now I have a taste for big stuff!
