Dr. Ben Carson - Portrait Painting Part 1

Dr. Ben Carson a retired neurologist and author, known for being the first to separate conjoined twins joined at the head was in Colorado this weekend. My husband and I watched him speak and agreed that he is inspirational.

Just a few weeks ago, my husband asked me to paint him. After seeing him yesterday I started the painting that afternoon.

It is not finished but there will be a Part 2 post of the final painting along with the process pictures I took along the way. So far I have worked on this painting for a total of four hours. Unlike the others in the previous posts, I began this one by drawing him first.

Thanks for reading!
