henry hughes & lauren hughes

Photobucket

this portrait swap between my brother, henry (portrayed above), and my mom, lauren (portrayed below), reveals a couple of great tricks for making fast drawings look dynamite. both portraits were done in two minutes but every page of my mom's sketchbook is pre-painted and pre-collaged and my brother did all of his drawings with tempura paint. both tricks gave their portraits a painterly quality that blew us all away.
