Jan 18-29th: Inception Oil Painting

Oh blog...my dear blog.  How oils are not my strong suit.  The progress I've made is pretty good, but I need SO much more practice.  The biggest problem by far is not having a decent picture of my subject.   I've been splicing 3 pictures to try to get this face looking remotely like the celeb.  And I do mean remotely.  I gave him eyes rather than shadows which I regretted at first, but I think I made the right decision.

The inside of the van is one big question mark.  I see like... a steering wheel in there... and blurry ...blurs?  My husband goes: "Why does the background look like crap?" Well, cuz that's how it is in the picture...blurry and distorted.

It's a mess.  But less of a mess than a week ago.  His face is close.  Close enough I think.  But for now I'm worrying about the background and the crazy amount of fudging I have to do.  Epic amounts.  At least I'm learning to improv!
