Portrait of Tommy

I've painted many a portrait and thought I'd post this one of Tommy- a much-loved model at the Art Student's League of New York.
Gosh, the more I look at this the more it reminds me of Gilbert Stuart's portrait of George Washington where ol' George's dentures are not fitting so well and distends the bottom lip out a bit, much as it is doing here.

Portrait of Rudy

This is a portrait of Rudy. It is painted in oils on a gesso masonite panel. The gesso is a mixture of rabbit skin glue, whiting (powdered and washed white chalk- calcium carbonate) and titanium white. Although very laborious to make- it's degree of absorbency and slickness is unexcelled.

Portrait of Jaycee

This is a portrait of Jaycee. It is painted in oils on a masonite panel that I coated with a homemade glue and chalk gesso.
