Personal Portraits by Scottish Artist Timothy Cumming

This collection is a mix of larger commissions, speculative portraits and portfolio works, made mainly in 2011/12. I like to work from a subject's mood, perhaps over 20 or 30 minutes. That means multiple photos of the sitting, plenty of chat, window light ideally, and then I can paint a composite from them, without burdening the sitter. If the light's right, the work tends to just tumble out.
