Three hours. Ignat's portrait painting class is really fun. We often paint with gels over the spotlights to mix things up a bit.

Louise

Four-and-a-half hours.

Jee

Five hours.

Rose

Three hours.

Marisa

Three-and-a-half hours. I might as well post my studies to keep a record of my own progress. It's fun to share, anyhow!

Toni

Three-and-a-half hours. Naturally, this is a different Toni than the last post.

Sorry about the lack of updates; I've been a bit lazy about uploading my own work. I also want to post more than just studies. I'm working on a couple of bigger pieces at the moment - I'll post 'em when I'm done. Thanks for always checking in.

Toni

Two-and-a-half hours.

Ana

I switched to using Venetian Red instead of Alizarin Crimson on this one just to try something new and ended up being really surprised with the color harmony. I shouldn't be too shocked though - this is the same red Aaron Coberly uses in his terrific limited palette paintings. This one took only three hours - getting faster!

Amy

Three hours (two in front of the model, one at home). I had a tough time hitting Amy's likeness today. I don't like to make excuses for bad drawings, but it's a bit of a challenge to see nuances when you're fifteen plus feet away.

Heather

Five hours. This one suddenly went south about two hours in, and I had to quickly figure out how to salvage it before time ran out. In the process of fixing it though, I learned how important it is to recover and retain the drawing underneath as you progress - you can't let things get too mushy.

Getting pretty comfortable with this modified Zorn palette. I'll probably switch the red from alizarin crimson to venetian red next time around just to get used to new color mixes.
