I paint dozens of boards different colors and randomly pick one and start the painting. Planning isn't part of the exercise - working with what I got is the learning experience.<br /><br />Lisa's question about where I find mugshots - I google 'mugshots'.Karin Jurickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144241663839954074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4621225576781147800.post-44371543787243026152011-01-11T09:06:57.424-05:002011-01-11T09:06:57.424-05:00You've probably answered this a million times,...You've probably answered this a million times, forgive me - but are you googling mugshots or do you have a favorite site of them? - I know you said you get them from all over - but wondering what your process is for finding the reference.Lisa Dariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02443381570976798391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4621225576781147800.post-15783002162266951542011-01-11T08:15:50.728-05:002011-01-11T08:15:50.728-05:00Lovely, very expressive brush strokes.

It's in them that you accomplish the portrait.
