Practice Burns - People Portraits
It's been a few years now since I have offered up commissions of people portraits.
I have done the odd one since, but always with blurred faces or side views and not a lot of features showing.
Why? Because they are a very unforgiving. You make a shadow too dark, or make a line too prominent and it can change the whole portrait! And, they are very time consuming. Skin takes low heat to get smooth burns, and therefor, more layering to get darker areas. In turn, this takes A LOT more time than any other design can take.
I didn't feel confident enough in my portraits to continue offering them - until I could practice more.
That time is now! I have been spending time working on eyes currently!
I will be posting progress pictures and finished images here of each set I work on of practice burns for you to follow along my journey with me!​
Sloth on Cherry Wood
International Sloth day is October 20th! My goal is to get this done, or at least started by then haha. This is being burned onto a beautiful cherry wood plank that measures 9" x 8.5" and is available for purchase - contact me to inquire!
SPN Impala on Basswood Plank
I have wanted to burn the Impala car from SPN for a while now, as I really enjoy burning classic and vintage vehicles.
I wanted a spooky forest background, but now I am thinking of changing it to a dark foggy background. Once I have the background how I want it, I will begin burning it - and I will update the WIP images as well!
This is being burned onto a large 11" x 16" basswood plank with double live edge. This is available for purchase - contact me to inquire!
