#photorealistic paintings

I’ve been working on a new painting project - a family portrait commission from the Britti Family in Atlanta. These are onlythe basic underpaintings - so far I’ve just blocked in color and added some texture to these smooth panels. I typically work on canvas which has significantly more tooth (surface texture) - so I’m not used to such a smooth surface that shows every brush stroke. Once these are dry I’ll go in and start adding more detail. 

Each portrait is 18"x24" oil on gessoed Ampersand panel.
