...but, man, acrylics and oils are SLOW and messy... I started this Ron Paul portrait with the idea of experimenting, and I did so, and I've been REALLY studying color mixing for portraiture this past week or so, yet...Yet, I don't have time for this right now. I'd like to have my own "stand" somewhere, maybe at Clearwater Beach, where artists are allowed to set-up for a small fee, and I'd like to offer serious portraits (as well as crazy caricatures?), but I think I'll just stick with the pastels for now, like in the Angelina pic. Pastels are faster, and they're a traditional medium for quick portraits in an hour or two. ...Thought I'd go ahead and post this... I'll finish when I have time. It's really barely started, all rough and craggy, but kinda cool, for a start...

Man Tim... you're kicking these portaits out pretty quickly! I don't know if I'd succeed at that speed. I've been out of the constant practice of drawing people's faces ON-GOING for so long... especially in color! I did a gig the other day.. but nothing was in color. It was too busy. I have some oils here.. and pastels too... but I'm nearly afraid to tackle it.
I'm gonna have to get around to it at sometime though.. or else.. what a waste of great paint and wonderful tools it would be.. right?
Anyhow, this is some awesome stuff you've been sharing with the rest of us. Maybe I'll get off my a... (uh... I better not post that..lol!) and get to work. :)
