Study of Eli, 8″ x 10,” acrylic on pressed board, 2008.

I’ve been having a really fun time with my new interactive acrylics set.  I decided to do a few studies of my kids.  I think I’ll help myself out next time by starting with  a better sketch.  It makes all the difference to see the exact proportions in the sketch.  It’s not perfect, but it was fun to try to catch his essence with some goopy strokes.  His light is so glowy, I could paint him everyday!
