After Repin A Shy Peasant

This portrait by Repin appears with all sorts of hues on the web.  I don't know which version is closest to the true work as I have never seen it.  I copied one of the more vibrant copies.  I took about 6 h over this.  Most of that at lunch time.  The problem with the lunch time sessions is I work on a laptop in daylight so I still have to adjust value and hue at the end.

A lunchtime sketch of an emu.  For practice took about 30 minutes.  The colour was deliberately muted.

This is the continuation of the work started here. I added some more detail and refined the horseman.  All in all this took a while to do. The thing I liked most of this are the colours. I set out to limit those from the start.

I decided to keep going with the personal work.  This one was a challenge as I wanted to get some decent poses.  I started with the the black and white draft then added colour.  I had a reference for the horses pose but the tigers I had to wing it.

Here is a quick lunchtime study of a spanner.  About 30 minutes.  Just wanted to get some still life practice in.
