280 Portrait of Willem Dafoe
Original here
I have this ongoing battle with Willem Dafoe.. This must be the best one I have done of him yet – The underlip is a little too light, though and it shines a little. And i still have no good approach for hair. But I’m moving forward!

In fairness, Willem Dafoe has a very peculiar face which means those unfamiliar proportions are probably quite a challenge.

I think that i might have been carried a bit away in exaggrating his jaw.. Or maybe my painting just looks a little more like Willem Dafoe than the reference photo. I’m not sure 😉

I’m just self learning watercolours. Very tricky media to work with. I admire your skill

Thank you very much – I’m also in the learning stages, though – but it’s addictive! Have fun with it.
