Another alla prima for this week.(Unfinished this time)

This week, I had the problem of getting a bit late to the session, so I wasn't able to finish the portrait in 2.5 hours.
I am still feeling better and more confident when it comes to portrait painting. I am slowly getting to my main aim..(practice, practice, practice) that's what it is :).

This week it was kind of cute, because I told the model she was free to put some music for her if she wanted. (I always wear headphones when I paint, and each part of the painting requires different tips of music..I know..Bad habits :) ).

The model got so relaxed with the music that she kind of fell asleep, so I took advantage of that to try some closed eyes.

Enough of talking, here is a phone picture of the (sort of) final painting.

Belated Valentine's day

Tried doing some roses from life inspired by the works of Daniel Keys, who is probably my favorite floral artist.

This is the result.

"Roses are red" - 30 x 20 cm oil on panel  - alla prima
