Portrait 9
Painting from a purchased photo. My experiment here was to do a quicker underpainting, just with a single oil brush, before moving on to details and completing the painting. I blocked in first and then continued over painting with the same oil brush instead of blurring and over spraying as I have before. Hoping to speed up my process. And get a slightly looser look.
