Portrait 32/100





















Moving along with another portrait and another paint-over! Swipe to see process shots below and say goodbye to the Lilac-Breasted Roller. 

I've been enjoying starting with a 3-value block in for skin and for hair, and then I go to town on the details with whatever values and colors I think will bring the painting to a more finished state. But that 3-value block in is a great start--and from far away the painting looks about done!

Thank you to Anna Tria on the Museum by Sktchy app for the lovely reference photo. 6x6” oil paint on Gessobord.
