I am working on portraits both painted and drawn. The portrait of Nick above from Houma is the first of a series of painted portraits that will be 36 x 24". This is the first step of the portrait, contour lines and watercolor washes with some colored pencil detail. I will then add some acrylic glazes and possibly oil in the last layers. The image above is the very beginning of the first layer.
The smaller portraits will be graphite on 18 x 14" claybord. I have a few of those started and some will become dyptichs if I photograph someone over time such as Isoko from Baton Rouge, whom I photographed pregnant and will photograph again with her baby.
I will still be gathering images and recordings for the project through 2015 and possibly longer. I am now also in the stages of making the work for the exhibits.
More images of the stages of this painting to come.
