Sky Arts PAOTW | Judge Rinder
Rinder’s portrait was painted during Lockdown as part of Sky Arts’ Portrait Artist of the Week. It was fun to revive dusty portraiture skills. Above all, I enjoyed the thought of tackling the same subject as my art old teacher, Karl Ullger, also taking part. It was a unique feeling to paint alongside whilst reflecting on my art journey over the last 12 years. Darth Vader’s legendary quote comes to mind - “When I left you, I was but the learner” (plus the rest of it too, haha).
Timelapse can be found on my Instagram:

Very pleased with the final result. good to see I haven't completely lost my ability to paint realistically.

Alt Colours during rough stage, I used this as a post on social media to see what the community response to colour choices were. Engaging audiences with a choice makes for interesting interactions
Rough pencil sketches in my teeny notebook
Sketch #1 - I wasn't thrilled with my result but it did still function as the angle
Sketch #2 - Another attempt. it was more accurate but the angle wasn't doing much for me
