Portraits, already!

I very, very rarely paint portraits, but have been asked to paint one of Jeremy Corbyn, ex-leader of the Labour Party and currently suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party as a result of seeming to forget he owed a touch of loyalty to the new leader.

So I have mixed feelings about the lad, but nonetheless - we're having a go.

I work agonizingly slowly, especially on a portrait, but here is the initial lay-in.   The challenge here, apart from the obviously wrong shape of the nose, is to avoid making him look as though he's just celebrated his 110th birthday.
