First 16” x 20” Portrait! Part 1 VLOG #003

Tonight I started a 16x20 portrait which is crazy big for me. Especially since I’m taking up the entire canvas with the subject’s head. My goal is to be expressive and to show new artists that painting is easy and fun. I also talk a little about our painting group South Bay Art where we host Plein Air Painting on Saturdays and Painting from Models on Wednesday nights. If you’re in the South San Francisco Bay Area come join us. Our meetup group is: South Bay Art. Today I mention Matt Talbert a lot and his IG is: @talbertart Also I mentioned Kai Lun Qu @kailunqu and David Gray @davidgrayart. Check them both out on IG. Totally different styles but both are incredible artists! Here is a copy of the source image: I also mentioned my group call South Bay Art out of San Jose and you can check out our IG @southbayart_events.
