I am currently painting my grandparents for their 60th diamond anniversary gift, which I will not show because I'm super frustrated right now. It currently just looks too neat, and I can't seem to capture my grandma's likeliness. Then with the help from good friend Leighton Hickman who suggested I look up Richard Schmid, I completely fell in love!! This is exactly how I want the portrait to turn out, with really broad, bold brushstrokes that bring out the face so beautifully against a muted background.
Im just attaching a few of his portraits I really like :)
