Double portraits aren’t something that I do a lot of and I’d never done one on a You Bag, so I decided to dive right in and do two double portraits of my David and myself!  I painted from stills from a video I took of my partner and I talking by whispering to each other.  Using stills from a video allowed us to be more natural than if I’d set the timer on my camera.
