Frank Bough

Of all the celebrities ever to have been disgraced after being caught in a tabloid sting, Frank Bough is the most likely to raise a smile and the least likely to generate a clamour angry pitchforkers. Ā He would be there presenting Grandstand at lunchtime every Saturday, oozing charm, sophistication and gravitas and looking in complete control. Ā When it emerged that he would be doing this with only four hours sleep after pulling an all nighter at cocaine-fuelled, cross dressing sex parties with prostitutes, it made his skills look even more impressive if anything. Ā A level of professionalism that the rest of us can only aspire to.

I’ve painted Frank using the Notanizer app and the tundra colours. Ā So after putting a pencil outline and some masking fluid, that was a layer of tundra pink followed by a layer of tundra blue and then a layer of tundra violet. Ā I added a second layer of the violet in an attempt to make it darker and sprinkled some salt into it just for fun. Ā I then fiddled about with those three colours at the end trying to improve the likeness but without any luck, and spattered over all five tundra colours in the background. Ā And that was me done.
It’s clear that this is Frank but there are some problems there. Ā The mouth’s not right, with too many dark colours. Ā And some of the edges in the face are a bit too sharp. Ā On the other hand, screw your eyes up and it’s definitely him. Ā And I think it’s good enough to go in the shop window, even if nobody’s likely to want Frank’s portrait on their wall.

Maybe I need to start weaning myself off the Notanizer app. Ā This won’t happen straight away as I already have a traffic light painting pencilled out for tomorrow.
