Heartbreak Productions Commission: "Mr Weston"

Mr Weston was to be painted in the style of John Constable.  As the character of Mr Weston is a farmer, I selected an image showing farmland in the background and a rather moody, dark sky, often seen in Constable's work.  I'm definitely getting quicker, as I had completed the first layer of paint by 3pm on the same day I started and already feel like I have captured something of a likeness.  I had been worried about painting the wig, which needed to look like it was sitting on the actor's head, rather than part of him.  It was the first time I've ever painted a beard so this was also a challenge.
