Dominic 'Head and Shoulders' by Lesley Dabson

Hi Lesley, nice to see your work again. You've got a great mix of skin tones in this study.

Love this Lesley. Sparing with the brushstrokes, great skin tones. Jealous!

Thanks Val and Marjorie :)

Beautiful work, Lesley.

Thanks Cesare, the original is just 16 x 14 cms so it's a looking a little large on my computer. Glad you like it :)

Great portrait Leslie, good marks and colours x

Thanks Carole x

I really like his shiny head, makes it zing.

Love this, Lesley, very interesting work. Perhaps I need to try your idea in my life group! I'm always covered in charcoal, too!

Thanks Gudrun :) Thanks Thalia, it's a bit heavier to carry the oils but a lot less messy.

You want to bet on that??? lol. Our poses are very short, so don't know if I'd get the mixes done in time...maybe I'll try pastels. Love yours anyway!!

Agreed Thalia, oils might be difficult to mix for the 1-10 min warm ups. Pastels- a great idea.
