Portrait 9/100


 










Portrait 9/100. I made this as part of a Let’s Face It 2025 online class given by Kara Bullock. I was inspired by Kara’s loose brushwork, but my version got a little tighter than hers despite my best efforts! 

The underpainting was in acrylic, and then I switched to oil paint for the rest (Kara did hers all in acrylic). Thank you to Kara for the lesson and Mae Martinez on the museum by Sktchy app for the reference photo. 6x6” mdf panel.
