My acrylic portrait
This is a pencil drawing of the photo below in which I drew out the man and then sprayed the pencil drawing with hairspray to keep it fixed while I covered it with a layer of clear Acrylic Glazing medium. Then in layers of Color added to layers of glazing I added the color to the canvas.
This is the end result showing the actual finished portrait.
This is the pencil drawing prior to the adding of color glazing.
This is the Photo that I was contracted to do the painting from.
Hi Tim, that must be an old photo, because of the hair style and suit. How long do you do Art and have you done any latest Artworks?

I get photos from people sometimes are old ones...like in this case of Dr. Steven Sims. His mother commissioned this piece and one other I have posted as well as she had 2 photos of him as a younger man . So I recieve things sometimes are dated, others are not. Thank you
I went to the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1980-84 with a major in art studio and minor in Art History. Since then I have been in art, so for a long time. Some pieces I didn't capture an image of so I don't have a record of everything that I did. I learned to record my art though. Some pieces that I have photos (digital) of that are useful to enter into contests . I am new to a lot of this steemit, but I left for 4 years to be caught up into some other things plus I just wasn't really doing much here on Steemit. But, I get board of not getting amoung people, especially now with the days since 2020 so I find that it is very enjoyable to revisit Steemit now. I am not in it for money or anything, I just want to meet people and share things and since I do visuals well that Is what I tend to like to do. Sometimes I get where that I like to just type and explain things so I might just do some blogs on various things that I know. We'll see..
