Live Portrait Demo

[Jonathan Hardesty]

Jan Verhulst - Thanks!

For anyone who is interested here are some pictures from the event. I sent this out with my most recent newsletter but I thought you guys might be interested as well.

This is the closest I can get to progression pics. Sorry!

I always find photos of other artist's studios and demos fascinating. I particularly liked how you put the top easel clamp on upside down. That way the big wide ledge doesn't cast a shadow on the top of your painting. And propping that plastic box below the painting makes the lower edge of the canvas accessible too. Very clever! (Of course, it's a lovely painting, too!)

Thank you for sharing these. I enjoyed them very much.

Johnathan,

I just visited the website with the pictures. No wonder your model has such beautiful eyes in the painting. She's looking at you. I'd bet no other artist could obtain that look.

Nice job. Well done.
