Justin McGuire Portrait


This is a portrait I recently finished. I originally started this as a study I wanted to do off of a photo I had taken of him while doing a photo shoot for a family portrait.

As I progressed, it went from a study to a full color portrait. and is one of my best yet.

I used washes of orange and green in the background covered in layers of neutrals to darken them. The orange creates a nice contrast for the blue shirt which I then had to darken with subtle washes of orange and dark neutrals because it popped way too much.

Here is my first test movie, I'm going to be using this to create mini movies to show the progression of Painting a work of art.
