Portrait 62/120. First self portrait of the project. Doesn’t really look like me.
Portrait 61/120. Another one from an old photo of Minoli. Think I’m getting a bit better at capturing her likeness
Portraits 59 and 60/120 in the new sketchbook. Already much preferring the 100% cotton paper. Half way!
58th and final portrait of the sketchbook is Minoli eating milk toffee. Just 62 portraits to go!
Portrait 56 and 57/120. Just one more to go and the first sketchbook is done!
Portraits 54 and 55/120. Three pages left! Going to finish it off today
Portraits 51-53/120 from this morning. Only a few more pages left in my sketchbook!
Portrait 50! Just 70 to go.
Portraits 48 and 49/120. Sort of starting a mini series of people reading
Portraits 46 & 47/120 this morning. I do actually miss reading newspapers
Painting some history this morning (someone reading a newspaper)
Portrait 45/120. Another (slightly better) attempt at painting Simone de Beauvoir
Portrait 44/120. Tried to paint Simone de Beauvoir but failed horribly
Portrait 43/120: I got a watercolour hue called “Aussie red gold” that I’m really starting to love
Portrait 42/120: I appear to be stuck on the cool side of the palette. Probably need to find images with harsher light
Portrait 41/120. A purple grumpus
Portrait 40/120. A third done! Trying to get a bit looser
Late today. Portrait number 39: back to monochrome-ish. Trying to figure out a good complementary to purple for highlights
Portrait number 38! Trying to ramp up the harsh light. Need better strategies for handling finer details in eyes and lips 🤔
Portrait number 37. Screwed up the hair shape a little but can see improvement in lifting out highlights. The trick is using toilet paper rather than (coarser) kitchen paper :)
