Owen Chase, Out from Nantucket on the Essex
With only one existing portrait of the young Owen Chase, I first did a sketch based on the portrait to get
facial features and facial proportions. I then brought it into a painting and built out from it,
giving him a sterner look than in the portrait.
I based the hair color on the color range that tends to run in the Chase family,
with a nod to the range that seems likely from the portrait.
