Talent, schmallent. Just learned behavior and lots of practice. Years ago, I had to take life drawing for three years in college. A full year studying and drawing bones amd skeletons. Then live models.
I find it fascinating that those skills still persist. Even without touching a brush or canvas for 30 years. I’m surprised at the outcome.
But here’s the real trick. I kept looking at the painting thinking how boring it was. I’ve been taking pictures every session.
I took those pictures and layered them in photoshop using different layer modes.
Flattened the thing, did a little touch up on the background (removed some paint splatter) and thought “that’s it. Done.”
Although I may shorten the nose and get the face better. Nose is too long.
I’ll have it printed on canvas.
