I know this is a tired old cliche but it is exactly what I am doing. I felt I needed to revisit the basic skills of capturing a likeness and so it has been out with the reference books a reread the lessons on proportion. This is stage one – next will come the appliance of shade to give the portrait substance. I have learnt a lot or perhaps learnt stuff I should have known – either way the exercise is very useful
