First try at Alla Prima

This is loaded with character and style. The alignment, shadows and highlights are excellent, as is the intensity of the eyes. Thoroughly enjoyed looking at this, Stewart. Brian

Lovely portrait, the brushwork really visible. More than a good effort and once you get used to painting wet in wet , the different pressures of brushwork laying paint onto wet paint is great. You might find through trial of error muddying may occur, but persevere because it's a wonderful way to paint.

Very good portrait of a great painter, Stewart.

Excellent Stewart.

Great tribute to the man himself.

Superb work

Excellt.
