First Formal Portrait Commission




I posted this on the completed portraits section, but Michelle Rushworth suggested that I post it here, as the final coat of varnish has not been put on and I would like some feedback. It is a portrait of a past president of the university where I work. I only had black and white photographs to work from.

Clive,

Can you post the original photo you worked from. It looks to me like his left eye is off. It is smaller than his right eye and the shape of the iris is not right. His left eye is smaller than the right, yet the iris is larger than the iris in his right eye.

Alicia
