#oh just paint a lucian freud they said. just mix skin colour frm 6-8 different tubes not counting varnish water or slowing agent they said.#like itll be a good exercise. idk wth im doing#all of this is progress frm 5 hrs total. i probably spent the first full hour drawing my grid and face in pencil bc i did NOT want to start#like it was too daunting lol. and then the following 2-3 hrs it's still like WHAT AM I DOING I MESSED IT ALL UP#and then you add more depth w dark and light and go like oh. maybe this can still be salvaged after all in time lol ok#it's still a wip i'll continue adding to it next week. apparently when you paint the bg is when i'tll all suddenly click and look solid?#heres to hoping lol. ive never felt more like a painter tho. close up included bc there are like a million brush strokes in there#my reproduction looks nothing like the original guy posing fr his portrait but itsure does look like. some guy in 3D surely#my art#sorry if the positioning is all over the place. those colours did not want to be accurately captured on camera fr
