Had to get 8 total done for the seminar as the space I have is a bit asymmetrical.

Here are the latest

Two more women and one more man to finish off this set.

The previous women I have worked on were very soft and airbrushed looking.  I tried to capture the details like I have been doing with the grumpy old men.

Hopefully I was successful!

This is the latest of four men I will be painting, this is the third.

I am also going to work on painting four women’s portraits.  I have previously created two, but I need to go back and start over now that I have a much better workflow.

Here is the latest work that is part of 8 portraits.  There will be four older mean and 4 young women.  Hopefully there will be a great deal of expression that infers a story, but subtle enough not to know what that full story is.

I added chromatic abberation  and some noise to hopefully pull it more into a photo-hyper-realistic area.

I started another thread in the same sort of series of hyper-real portraits.  I am using lower resolution images from the internet, so I am having to add all the additional details that I would normally get from a high resolution image.  In this thread, I am getting my images from the same source, but with a different search parameter.

I really enjoyed the wrinkles and can’t wait to do another one like this, before returning to painting the women that I have picked out to paint.

Here is the newest painting.  Top part is the finished painting and the bottom is the process, which I will be displaying.
