James Marsters as Spike oil painting

"Spike" James Marsters

Oil paint on a 16"x20" stretched canvas.

This painting is apart of my private collection.

James Marsters was my first portrait. I had insisted for years that I couldn't draw, let alone paint people. I finally decided to challenge myself. I first drew this out with a grid. After several hours of work I realized my grid was completely off and "Spike's" head was too wide. I decided it would be easier for me to just free hand the drawing rather than redo my grid. It was and a few days later I had my first portrait completed.
