This was painted on illustration board instead of canvas, canvas board etc. I wasn't sure how it would work with acrylic paints but I was very pleased with it. I didn't gesso the board (Drew Struzan typically does) so I can't varnish it or else it will warp.
On illustration board cold press 15"x 20"

That's a great portrait of Rachel McAdams. From the looks of it, I'd say it's Red Eye-era McAdams (awesome movie!). Well done.
ReplyDeleteGood eye Matt. It is Red Eye-era McAdams! You win the Buick!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful peice. If Rachel saw it she would want it for herself. You got her glow just right. You ever think about doing a Selena?
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind if I posted this on my tumblr. I gave you full credit and linked back to your site.
ReplyDeleteNo problemo Cal. Don't mind at all. Selena is on my long list of girls to paint. It's a very long list. ;)
ReplyDeleteVery nice blog--I really like this pic in particular!
