Description
AVAILABLE - 11 x 14" acrylic painting of Jack Nicholson from the Shining. Loved him in this role and always wanted to find a good shot of him sitting at the bar to make a painting from.Related content

Hahah yeah, when I decided to do this, I told myself, "Marie, you're not going to do the typical shot of the 'Here's Johnny' scene! Find something new!" So I went through the movie until I found this perfect Jack look. So glad you appreciate the work! I love The Shining too - it's one of my top 10, possibly top5 movies of all time.

This is very good. I love the film. I think the eyebrows could be larger, it would fit more in the portrait. It's just my humble opinion.

Oh it's fine to give your opinion, just going on straight reference his eyebrows actually looked thinner than this! I thickened them up as much as I felt comfortable doing so ;D Thanks for the compliment!

Love this actor! You captured his face and expression brilliantly. Acrylics are so hard to work with.. They dry so damn fast. Good on you for turning this out!

Thank you so much! Took a look at your page and you're very good as well! I'm actually not amazing at shading when it comes to pencils and I tend to better when I can blend with paint and a brush..so I really envy good drawers.

You're Welcome. I want to learn how to paint sometime, even though I mostly focus on pencils. I think I might learn something from watching your gallery; do you ever post tutorials or WIPs?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I haven't done many tutorials, but I have done work in progress/ time lapse paintings. I have a bunch of video that needs to be edited, but do have one completed for the Hitchcock painting..it's just super long which I will HAVE to change for future videos. Here's that link though, the quality is not amazing, because I was still using an older camera. Now I have a decent one at least, but need to get Adobe Premiere again! xD [link] One of the big things to get educated on is color with painting too, mediums, all that. I can maybe write something up sometime for you and anyone else who might be interested

I watched the tutorial on youtube, and it was excellent. It helps me alot to watch artists do their work... Thanks so much for sharing! I would be interested in anything you could write, or come up with to help beginners.

I'm glad you liked it! I just put up a WIP too for you to see and explained a little bit about it here :thumb346983207:

Thank you! I sometimes think I should have done a little more work on this one, but leaving it slightly unfinished works with the character's personality hah
