Portrait 66/100












I’m still following along with the week of online lessons called Creative Jumpstart, LFI 2026, that finished on Friday. This portrait is from Kara’s lesson, which she did with a big brush and acrylic paint, and she ended up with a very expressive portrait. I’ve gotten attached to oil paint, so that’s what I used, and my brushes were probably too small for anything that expressive. Even though I deviate a lot from the materials and instructions, I enjoy the company of the teachers and am eventually going to get to the last two lessons.

Here are some process images:
