From the Aquarellista headquarters 4

 The portrait is almost finished! There are some minor details but they will have to wait until I have done the greater part of the next portrait – the other half literally of this one… My plan is to connect them using the background. Their personal colours are very different, but this will make the two portraits, like the two people, ‘belong’…

Anyway, since my last post I worked on the cooler floor and the rug and the warmer wall and chair (window basically left white!) and after that I adjusted the reflections in the glasses…

 

 

 

 

 
The ‘after’ picture has much more likeness to the real person – his cleverness and perceptiveness are much more visible

At this point I stopped working on it and handed it over to the new owners, who by the way are very content. But they will have to return it for the last strokes when I am in the finishing stages of number two, so I can align the rug, and the window. But that will take a while. I will keep you posted!
