Autumn Fire – Red Head Portrait
Original Painting by Chris Shopland | Acrylic on 30.5 x 45.6 cm Paper

This portrait, Autumn Fire, was painted live on TikTok in a rather unusual setup—the painting faced the camera while I sat behind it, relying on the screen to guide my brushstrokes. A very odd way to paint, but somehow it worked out… and I think it turned out pretty great, lol.
