Portrait of my brother

I decided a portrait sketch of my brother Gibbs would be a good practice for me and a nice surprise for my dad.   It was a good exercise, but not a great likeness.  Practice makes perfect - but do I really want to be PERFECT?!   Artistic, creative, interesting - yes!  Perfect - been there, done that!  :>) Ha! Ha!

Yesterday in Andy's class we worked on a much more creative painting!  It's great to learn new techniques and to "see" things in different ways.   I'll try to post my painting from yesterday after it dries.
