Portrait of artist brainfree (United Kingdom)

Watercolor



Great British Radio and TV Comedians
I like Benny Hill not because he was a great comedian but because a friend of mine used to take him off (impersonate) him so well that now I see my late good friend who was a very amusing man. Dedicated to Brian.

He was a great comedian who at the time was frowned on for being course. It was more about the people watching, than him. He thought he was talentless and like a lot of famous comedians a very unhappy man. He died a poor man compared with today’s comedians. He was in the tradition of British saucy post cards mold, which also died out but are now being sort out for their artistic qualities. :) :thumbup:

Thank you, if you read my comments on the top, you'll see the portrait meant a lot to me. It's large it fills the paper, I looked for the likeness and at first I painted it without the glasses, just those eyes and cheeky grin but, then after remembering the glasses and painted them in! I used 2 photo’s to look at for reference. I hope my long repy will help you. :) :thumbup:

Thank you brainfree for this kind of "hommage". I loved this actor because of his sense of humour and also because of his glance on the spectator as he could see through the screen, audience reactions. IMHO this is one of the best drawing you've shown on this site. :clap: :clap:
