Brilliant first oil Dawn. Wish you could tell us the joke :))

This is an absolutely great first oil portrait Dawn. Andy's eyes look wonderful (and so does the rest of him!). Well done!!

Thank you Carole, John and Margaret. I dread to think what he was saying, Carole. He is a Royal Marine and can be quite naughty.

He looks great fun Dawn. This has turned out really well. I must have been on a "sabbatical" when you posted this!😐

My first portrait in oils. Water-mixable oils on canvas. I started with a bistre underpainting and then lots of glazes on top. My daughter-in-law told me Andy had just told a naughty joke when the ref photo was taken!

About the Artist

Dawn Halliwell

I started painting in Jan 2016 after the death of my youngest sister. I found it great therapy and still do! I love experimenting with different techniques and media. I mainly work in pastel or oils for pet portraits, but I also enjoy doing ink portraits with the odd landscape thrown in for good…
