I usually paint commissioned portraits but a group I'm with is having an exhibition of figures in a landscape and I thought I could have some fun and paint sailboarding..
If anyone has any closeups they'd let me paint , preferably really going for it , half out of control ,spray , contorted faces etc .. Please post here..If I have some character or action I can enhance it.. I prefer just blasting rather than wave action..
Here is what I already have..not bad but doesn't quite hit the spot and inspire me..
No 1 - almost there.. a bit blurry for the face.. The quality isn't very good - low pixels photo.
I probably won't try for an exact likeness as I really want to capture the stoke - fun , exhilaration , effort etc..Still if I have a clear face I can enhance that feeling of concentration fear etc..
Love the muscles and expression here but maybe more front on? If I use this I might change the sails to Severne gear..
Ps if any of these photos are of you and you don't want me to use them let me know. I have saved them over a few years waiting for a chance to use them.
Thanks in advance.
The above is me, Lee Condell and photo credit is Matt Burgess. Use away!

Just in case it doesn't absolutely have to be windsurfing.
Classic! My passion is windsurfing so I'll keep to that but boy that one it tempting!

Top or bottom shot? Thanks..not sure if I will use one of these but they are great.
I've got a lot of pics that Bob took at Primbee and there are some great ones there that may do the job..as someone said though boardies and some muscles would be a better look than beanies and wetties..
The exhibition isn't till Oct and I have to work this painting in around paid portraits so it may be a while before I decide and start.. I'll post the one I choose here ( so long as the person doesn't mind)
