2.5 hour alla prima portrait. I love working alla prima in these short time constraints. It really forces me to make very deliberate decisions on what the essential parts are that need to be painted to convey the personality of the sitter

Selfie” 2018 24x30cm/9.5×11.8in oil on canvas. I wanted to paint these awesome little guys in a way that they would want to photograph themselves, so I let them help take the reference together. I’m really happy with how it turned out

“Joop” 2019 30x24cm/11.8×9.5in oil on canvas.
The wonderful reference photo (taken by Johannes van Camp) of this awesome little guy is seen on half of the bus stops in my town, as a poster for the local “month of tolerance” . This portrait painting was a surprise for his father, Marco van Trigt, a fellow artist. Joop did an amazing job keeping it a secret from his dad (very tough for a 9 year old!!)
