Spasm Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I was thinking that I need to get a bit better at portraits so using up some old board from the garage I've started to do a few. Just in case they are unrecognisable I've written their name alongside. Obviously the older ones don't have a lot of resource material (pictures) available: An on going project at least until I use up the old boarding from the garage. May last until I get bored or the living room is so full of portraits stacked about that the Admin Staff decides to tidy them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spasm Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Thank you Gents. Here's the one to finish the pair with Monty. Colours look a bit weird but I just trust in the camera. Edited January 23, 2017 by Spasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I rather think the names are superfluous! Your usual superb work makes the identities quite clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spasm Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 I was struck how cool the Patton movie poster looked when I was finding pictures of him to paint and put it on the others. They're only practise sketches that'll be binned at some point and some of the older Geezers (Lionheart, Saladin, Henry III, etc) would be pretty hard to recognise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I think I would have gotten Genghis anyway - who else would it be? - but even with a background in medieval history I'm not sure about el-saladin or Lionheart. Do we have contemporary illustrations of them, or are they somebodies 'best guess'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
