This is my first attempt at doing people! This is my son Greg playing in his band, "Retro Transit Authority." www.retrotransitauthority.com The focus of this painting is primarily Greg's stratocaster..... the long curving black of the guitar against his shirt that has a very light value to it. The big lesson I learned on this painting was to NOT be tempted to make Greg's face, "look like" Greg. It would detract from my light/dark value contrast. The bass player in the background was alot of fun. Basically, all that is painted is his face, neck area, both hands, and his guitar...... all against a blackish background.
