This is great!! I love it, the grey tones and red back ground really compliment each other, I can not do portraits but just might try again after veiwing this, wonderful.

Thanks very much for the kind words Karleen. I find that when preparing portraits using a photo and grids helps a lot and using a larger page means that you get stuck in with the detail. I hope that helps you?

This is an acrylic painting based on an old black and white photograph of Coco Chanel. It took me about 4 weeks to complete mostly as I found it challenging to mix the tones of white and paynes grey to that of the photograph. It was good fun and an interesting experiment using just two colours.
