3rd NJ Bust

[moore]

This is my first post using kitpic. Trying to see if I can do it.
But here is a picture of my 3rd NJ I painted late last year.

Well it worked... I hope you enjoy it. The face had a lot of character to it..
If you can see it in person. Under the eyes I put too much shading ...and not enough highlights... but I learned from this on what not to do next time.
But I hope you enjoy it.

Excellent painting Dee. I like the shading under the eyes......makes him look tired and battle weary. I was given this bust as a Christmas gift and hope to do it soon.

It was a good bust to paint.

Nice work, Dee. I agree with Guy: The shading under the eyes is very effective.

Hi Dee,
Very nice job. Colors look good. Nice blending.
Skintones are very nice. And I agree, the shadows around the eyes help give him a weary look that goes along with the sculpting of the face.
Looking forward to seeing it in person at MFCA.
Congratulations,
Craig
