Old Master Glazing Technique

I finally went back into a drawing I did on masonite and used a very old glazing technique that was used in the 17th century. Well, actually an adaptation of the technique using acrylics. I took this photo using my phone so the image isn't that good but you get a pretty good idea.
What I like about the technique is what happens to the look of a painting. even in a low light the glazes actually glow.

Hand Drawn Self Portrait.

Since I have been doing several personal hand drawn portraits, I guess it was time for me to one of myself. I took a new approach and this is what I came up with. I think it has an old yet contemporary look.

Chef Jean Robert De Cavel portrait

I recently visited his newest restaurant "Lavamatic" to enjoy a sunday brunch.

Just the best coffee and croissant. Then it was off the the museum to see the 3 faces of Rembrandt exhibit.

I just had to draw something and this seemed like the logical choice.

Hand Drawn Portrait Of Ricky

This one was a little more challenging than most. The pic was very small and lacked detail but I managed to pull out enough thru the magic of photoshop to get what I needed for a good drawing.
