Last Portraits of 2019

Portrait of Kori L from Sktchy, 10x8” oil on gessoed watercolor paper — Portrait of Kori L from Sktchy, 10×8” oil on gessoed watercolor paper

After working on this portrait for two months, trying over and over to capture this lovely woman in paint, I have to admit I never truly succeeded. I learned from all the struggles and attempts but it’s about to be a new year and time to start something new so I’m moving on. You can see her reference photo on Sktchy by clicking on the image of my painting here.

Below are two digital sketches in Procreate from Sktchy, done this month while waiting for the paint to dry on the portrait to try once again on a new layer of oil paint to get it right.

You can see the reference photo for the sketch above here and the one below here on Sktchy. Just click my drawing there to see the reference photo beneath it.

I think the painting is wonderful! She is her own in your hands, not a photo. She has personality and a story. Well done. All the sketches are great. Love this style!

Thanks North Liza Lane. I can get really hung up on the likeness so it’s a good reminder to just let it be what it is and that that’s good enough.

Thanks Claudia. I’m sorry the link didn’t work. Which one (the one for Kori?) It seems to work for me. I wonder why it doesn’t for you? Anyway, happy new year to you too!!!
