Really like this Martin, those eyes are quite mesmerising.

Excellent portrait Martin.

Powerful, a stunning portrait - was this a sitter or image?

Thanks Heather. It’s from a photo, royalty free. Having said that, it’s all done by brush work, no drawing, no graphs ect. Not that I have a problem with people who do I have to go to work seven days a week to make ends meet, so photos are all I have. If I had a sitter, the light has to be right to catch some decent values. That’s what I like. Gathering my own pace doing my own thing, have listened to many, but I do best what comes naturally. No face is too hard, but it has to appeal to as many as possible in my view.

Terrific work Martin with a lot of feeling.

really good portrait - especially the eyes

An arresting portrait Martin.

Thank you all very much

Really Nice Work! Style fits subject. For years, I have used just brushes to block in my images. Faster, easier.

Fantastic Martin!

He feels a bit lost to me, makes me want to help. The expression is pensive questioning whether you can be trusted and should he come from his Safe Space under his hood.

Thank you all

Brilliant!
