This is a commissioned painting I recently completed. The reference photo was one the client had, an older black and white photo so I had to rely heavily on the client’s description of coloring, etc. He gave me another photo that was in color which I also used as a color reference. I scanned both photos into my computer at high resolution so I could see better detail and had them on a laptop beside my easel while I painted.
