Portraits 30-&31/100




 









I am going to turn many of my 100-portrait challenge pieces into tiny quickie sketches. I brought up two at the same time today. The idea was to fill in the faces with a dark, mid, and light tone, and then to add more correct dabs of color/value to make them match their references better.  Thank you to Bryce C Liston for the reference on the left and to Sarah Sedwick (Let's Face it 2025) for the reference on the right. 4x6” oil paint on paper.
