Graduation

11" x 15" oil on gessoed 140lb Arches

One thing I'm not (yet) is a portrait artist. However, this one is based on a my brother's high school graduation picture. It's done from memory, I didn't have a sample in front of me when doing this. Obviously, I need more portrait practice, but I was please overall with the way this one came out. The lack of detail is made up with the mood and color.
