Partington’s Proficiency

I started and thankfully finished my final painting assignment tonight.  It’s only 2:30 in the morning.  I stopped and took pictures through the stages so you can see how I attempt to build up a painting.  I spent roughly three and a half hours painting, not including the drawing underneath.  It’s acrylic and water colour pencils on a stretched 24″ x 30″ canvas.  And I’m not happy with the outcome, it could have been so much stronger but I’ve been buried up to my neck in final assignments and painting is one of my weakest subjects.  Just thought I’d justify my reasoning. Oh, and the subject is myself as Howard Beale (Peter Finch) in “Network”. Enjoy.
