mrswalks 0 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Getting a good facial likeness has never been that easy for artists so I'm interested in seeing the finished article to see just how good this bloke is. Something tells me he's got the gifted talent to make faces recognizable on looking at wee Hughie. The husband says it doesn't come easy, but he has been practicing for 30 odd years now, and thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie 0 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Actually, there's a theory that lots of the old masters used optical aids in their works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockney%E2%80%93Falco_thesis Don't blame them either! The difficulty of what they painted, often on massive scale, all the way up to about the mid 19th century is mind boggling. Good to see people like mr walks keeping the flame alive ?

mrswalks 0 Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 We are building a Newcastle UTD page and thought you might like to take a look at it so far ( No buy now buttons on there) I didn't realise how many David has already produced. Might be of interest while waiting to see the Legends being finished anyway. https://sites.google.com/site/newcastleunitedpics/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
