Annie Mac

Portrait Artist Of The Week is back.  This is supposed to be Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac.  Believe it or not, I actually knew who this was – there used to be a Radio 1 ad before films at the cinema and Annie was in it.

Annie had a bit of a greeny yellow parlour to her skin today, maybe because of the lighting.  This was a great excuse to use some of those colours in grey more shadowy skin tones.  The purple on the background was chosen to clash agains and energise those yellows and greens.

The likeness isn’t great.  In fact, with its 1960s/70s feel, it came out looking more like my mother in her 20s.  Which is a bit spooky given that today would have been her 75th birthday.

And someone else just pointed out that this also looks like Rizzo from Grease.  That’s a good call Kris.

My excuse is that this was all a bit rushed, with me needing to finish early and watch this guy playing football.  Portrait Artist Of The Week was so much easier to participate in during lockdown proper.
