Portraits : Barnze as Paul Newman

barnze_portrait.jpg

Another random portrait, this time Barnze as Paul Newman from the Hustler. This has been one of my favourites to paint as Mr Barnze was kind enough to send me some superb reference pictures. It was also the first time I have painted a real proper man’s moustache. I wish I could grow one like his, mine have all been rubbish.

This came about as I stumbled upon Barnzes Muse’s and made him a new logo one lunchtime. For the technical details it is oils on canvas 10″ *12″.
