Self-portrait

Lovely portrait Cesare, do you make a pencil sketch first then paint after

Thank you, Dennis. Yes, I also like the pencil lines to be seen under the washes.

Fantastic portrayal, Cesare. There is warmth and humour in your eyes.

Good solid work Cesare, some great washes as always.

Thank you Ann and Alan for your kind comments.

It's you ! but I reckon you cheated and took a few years off Cesare. Great work.

Thank you, Derek, I made all people younger in my portraits, not only myself.

Fabulous portrait Cesare. You have achieved your own personal style with your portraits, which is a great achievement in itself.

Good likeness, excellent skin tones, but I would like to see more shadow on the beard on the right hand side of the picture.

Nice going Cesare....

Youre really on top form with this self portrait cesare. Fantastic work. It reveals an open minded, kind and generous nature. Keep painting these lovely portraits my friend.

Great work Cesare

Thank you all for your kind and generous comments much appreciated and very encouraging.

Excellent self portrait Cesare. Not easy I know from experience but possibly that's because I'm female and not completely honest when it comes to selfies. We ladies like to take off the years :) Now your portrait shows us a kind looking face..extremely well painted.

Wonderful portrait Cesare, a super likeness.

Thank you Louise and Margaret for your kind words.

Yes I see the humour in the eyes Cesare, a really good self portrait.

Thanks so much, Carole.

Lovely portrait Cesare, love the way you have captured the eyes and facial tones

Thank you, David.

Excellent. I might feel a challenge coming. I did do a portrait of your brother ....
