It looks very strange with the pupils blocked in but it is the eyes that I believe can 'make' a portrait. The eyes of people, they say, are ' the window to the soul'. I believe that the character of a person can be seen in the eyes and I hope to convey the character of my grandson through the 'eyes' of this painting.
I am finding it a challenge to not work wet in wet with this work but have to resist the temptation.
The blocking in should not take a long time as there are some large expanses of skin and hair.
A challenge as it is, I am excited about the journey.
