I guess he was a very honest looking old man. Some of my friends when I show them this portrait say he looks a bit like Osama while the other say he looks like Osho.Some just say I have painted the beard very good.

Your paintings are sensitive and beautiful. The soft colors are perfect in this portrait.
I just stumbled onto your blog and WOW!! Your recent street scenes and your portraits are striking! Very nice handling of watercolor. This portait of old man is definately a 'keeper'!

This is beautiful, as is all of your work. Thank you for commenting on my blog. I have been familiar with your work through art magazines and feel very honored.
Wow, this is an incredible portrait! Glad I found your blog.
Love the cool almost neutral grey hues on his face starting with his eyes and ending at his chin.
QUESTION - Were the highlights in his beard brought about by using frisket?
David
thanks,no frisket the painting is actually on a slightly tinted gray papaer.and the beard is opaque gouach which luckily has blended well with rest transperent washes.
An elegant and sensitive rendition...he does look wise. Your work is exceptional.
There is so much that you have captured in this painting. It is absolutely stunning . . . stops my heart.
