Random Portraits : Eithne as Sigourney Weaver

ethnie.jpg

The latest random portrait I’ve considered finished, I’ve been painting this one for far too long and I think I’ve over painted bits of it. It was the first female portrait I’ve started and I found it much harder to paint than the male portraits I have done, not exactly sure why. Also the skin tones on this one I found really difficult and they just don’t quite work as well as some of the previous paintings I’ve done.

For the technical among you this is a 10″ * 12″ painting in oils on stretched canvas.

    Really nice painting. I used to do oils myself, but never produced a portrait that well done.
