Okay, this is getting a little better. That's an interesting expression. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

More progress in James's version of our tandem paintings of three figures. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

James, working on his version of our tandem painting of three figures. Suzette's version is started below his. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

You know that saying - a painting has to get really bad before it gets good? Hahaha. Just starting to get paint on there, and it's been awhile since I've tried to paint figures this small. Haha #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

James is starting to fill in his version of our next tandem painting! #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

James is starting his version of this painting. Suzette will do the same painting next, to compare them. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

Starting the sketching for the next tandem painting. A portrait of three figures. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

Suzette getting more color in her version of our tandem self portrait. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

Suzette put the tie in on James. Looks sharp! This self portrait is rather light-hearted, and so far it's been a fun project. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

A good start. This is Suzette's version of our tandem self portraits. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

Suzette's version of our tandem self-portraits. This is her depiction of James. He's probably going to use this as his profile photo from now on. Hahaha #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

Suzette, starting her version of our tandem self-portraits. Just laying down color and filling up the canvas to start. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

This is James's portrait of him and Suzette. Next we'll show you Suzette's version of the same picture.

Enjoying the expressions in this one. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

James is working on getting the crinkled nose just right. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

Several things in the process of, at James's studio down in Orange County, CA. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

Laying the painting down to do the shading in light watery acrylics. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

More shading. Sort of a ridiculous portrait, but there's something fun in that. Slightly irreverent. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

More shading. I like it with the suit left as a sketch. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

So far. This is the beginning of James's version of the self-portrait. Suzette will paint her own version next. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

More shading on the figures. Sorta fun just to be ridiculous in a self portrait. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

Starting to fill in the shading. Nice, ridiculous expressions in this painting. Hahah #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

Adding more shading. Starting to like it. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

Starting to add some watercolor shading. James's version of our self-portrait. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #selfportraits

Outlining the sketch before getting into it. This is James's version of our "tandem" self portraits. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting
