Famous Faces – J.S. Sargent

Mrs. Horace Webber, 1911 – Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, 1892

Recycled Paintings 1.2 – Video
Recycled ASU painting #2 is complete, this time with some time-lapse movie magic.
It’s roughly 36×36, oil on canvas. Please watch!
Explanation: The first painting is a class assignment from 2010 which I never liked :P. Now (December 2011) I painted over it and filmed the process. This is my first timelapse movie attempt, so my apologies for the poor visibility (due partly to my person being in the way) and ever-changing lighting. Here’s a photo of the end result:
Comments welcome!
Freehand Famous Faces 1.1
Here begins my Freehand Famous Faces series.
It started with my friend’s suggestion to do a portrait of John Rhys-Davies, then it spread to other members of the LOTR movie cast. More to come :)

I should, but don’t, sketch from imagination very often. Here’s a rare imagined tree ~
And here are some sketch studies of works by J.M.W. Turner.
