Bass Player by Mike Murtagh

I also love jazz and chiaroscuro. Beautiful work!

Mark and Nora, Thanks very much for your kind comments. I'm new to this site and was not sure how I went about replying. I'll visit your areas, too! The sight-size technique is worth Googling. There are books and DVDs available on Amazon but I did the work you see in my Gallery on a 2-week course in Salisbury by the wonderful Nicholas Beer of sarum Studios. Again, Nick is worth Googling as there is a lot of advice and links about sight-sizing. It's bloody hard work but worth it, I think! You might like to check out my website - www.mypersonalportrait.co.uk Thanks so much for your interest. Regards, Mike
