Ok so this isn't the portrait(s) but what I did after an arvo of big thinking work: this is a big brush, fun kind of landscape (big scale too) which is a great antidote to thinking too hard.
So, the third of the KW images. Decided to go with a straight to the colour mode after a very rough sketch on of the proportions in charcoal. As you can see below, my initial sense of the scale was completely off! So it was kind of cool to be playing with blocking in in colour and tone (three brushes, loaded with brown, red and white) rather than working in monotone with line and shade.
Also worked out the idea for the background too. Still needs work but happy with the tones, the composition and the idea of the hills in the background mirroring the hills of Santa Teresa in KW's image.
This (out of order) is the next stage to the second of the images. Will have to work to get the tones corresponding across the three.
