First Portrait
by Boshy
(Sunny Chester U.K.)
Portrait of a Musician (guitarist)
About a year ago one of my Brothers talked me into trying my hand at watercolour painting, now that I've retired and have loads of time on my hands. He bought me a cotman painting set.
The problem was, I didn't know if I could draw or not. I've never really tried.
At school I chose photography over art and have been on the photography path ever since.
Anyway, this is one of the very first drawings I attempted. I didn't know what to draw so I drew me! I must admit I surprised the hell out of my Brother but not half as much as I surprised myself!!!...who knew it?? I could draw!!...well to a fashion anyway...now It's taken over my life!!!!....
**Note from Kerry:
Boshy, if this is your first attempt at a portrait, I'm gob-smacked!
