Portrait of Mark Lawrence

Here's is a painting I did today of Mark Lawrence. He's a friend of my buddy Lucas and is extremely funny and brilliant. He currently is part of a company called Spot Hero www.spothero.com which helps reserve parking here in the Chicago land area!

He posed for three hours and was shamazing at it! I used a limited palette on this one consisting of, yellow ochre, black, white and cad red. Then the shirt was cerulean blue and white. I loved painting this one for some reason and really began to just feel how I should approach the painting and not over think it. Here's a progress.
