Father Sandor in oils








In this digital age it might seem prehistoric to being dabbling in oil paints but then there is something organic about the process that makes it worth it. This was lightly sketched through onto Daler Rowney oil painting paper via a lightbox from the sketch below. I then started blocking in shapes and refining ,  adding  a simple suggestive background. No photos were used except to check how the dark area of his cassock worked and even then it's improvised. Artwork is for sale.:)
