Keep on chasing down that rainbow...

This is a painting I was asked to do for a friend, using acrylics on canvas. I thought I would post this so you are able to see how I work from start to finish. I've been told by a lecturer before that I shouldn't draw the picture out first... but that's how it works best for me! I am pleased with the final outcome... I am just hoping that the person I am doing it for likes it!

From start to finish - Noel Gallagher Painting

Mix and Match ...

As you will soon learn, I enjoy doing anything which is a bit arty! 

I thought I'd start with a project I did a while back! I really enjoy drawing/painting the human figure/face mainly because of the intricate detail and individuality of each person - it makes things much more interesting! I like to set myself a difficult task...and with being a perfectionist (very annoying at times) I like to ensure I paint/draw every little bit of detail I see! 

The two facial images are done with pencil crayon and the other have been painted using acrylic paint! I really enjoyed creating all these pieces as the textures and colours of elderly skin create a big visual impact, especially with the hands and the transparency of the skin, showing through the vibrantly coloured veins.

Let me know what you think, any comments are appreciated :)
