A Bit of Work

The model for QAA managed to lose her way on the way to the session, so we posed for each other. Portraits, that is, not figure.  I only had one board to paint on, so I wiped out each portrait before endeavoring the subsequent.  We each posed for 20 minutes.  I didn't want to waste paint for this exercise, so I just used cadmium orange, ultramarine, and titanium white:



This is work from John's.  Decent likeness, but the left side of her mouth needs to curve up more.

  1. Love both of these...colors and impression of first one are fierce and beating to get out! Second entirely different with softness and a haziness to the eyes. Lovely.
