Portrait 36/100


 










I took a little hiatus from painting portraits to paint still lifes and a big cat. But my plan to do 100 in a year is still on! For this one, I used a 3 primary palette plus white, and drove it into a pretty high chroma state. It's my natural tendency that I'm trying to fight with.

Thank you to Paola ER on the Museum by Sktchy app for the lovely reference photo.
