Breaking out of my comfort zone…
I have previously shunned portraits because embarrassingly for an artist, I have a problem with face recognition, and technically portraits is a challenging subject. I am however starting to enjoy it as an exercise in intense observation, and maybe I will start to recognise people better 😂🤣😂
Last Sunday, I accidentally embarked on a challenging portrait painting experience whilst watching award winning artist Christian Hook for 4 hours as he painted Will Young on Sky TV FB live.
About 10 mins in, I forgot my mental block, picked up my art supplies and joined in. This mad marathon session turned out to be so much fun. I forgot to eat, my back was killing me, but the sense of accomplishment was worth it, and I am happy to be part of this art community.
This is my finished portrait.

My opinion is based solely as an observer of your portrait.
Painting Will Young, an extraordinary British singer, was a fantastic stimulant to put your fears aside. A challenge that was successful for you. All the inconveniences, especially your mental block, were left behind and your work was excellent.
I imagine how difficult it is to paint the human face since it is the mirror of man’s existentiality. Your portrait achieves the identity of the singer in a brilliant way.
You have talent to develop your art. Congratulations.
With sweetie as always
