sboardcrazy said..I usually paint commissioned portraits but a group I'm with is having an exhibition of figures in a landscape and I thought I could have some fun and paint sailboarding..
If anyone has any closeups they'd let me paint , preferably really going for it , half out of control ,spray , contorted faces etc ..
Please post here..If I have some character or action I can enhance it.. I prefer just blasting rather than wave action..
Here is what I already have..not bad but doesn't quite hit the spot and inspire me..
No 1 - almost there.. a bit blurry for the face.. The quality isn't very good - low pixels photo.
I probably won't try for an exact likeness as I really want to capture the stoke - fun , exhilaration , effort etc..Still if I have a clear face I can enhance that feeling of concentration fear etc..
Love the muscles and expression here but maybe more front on? If I use this I might change the sails to Severne gear..
Ps if any of these photos are of you and you don't want me to use them let me know. I have saved them over a few years waiting for a chance to use them.
Thanks in advance.
