Expressive portrait

Expressive portrait - student project

Once again Will, you have chosen such a beautiful subject. I hope the real model never gets to see what I’ve done!

Overall I think it works but I’m really frustrated at how I overworked the hair and I don’t have the transitions in the skin - especially on the neck and cheeks.

Most annoyingly I can still see the pencil marks! 

However - rant over! Will, please keep them coming! You are such a joy to watch paint and I love that you talk about the theory of colour and placement, not just step by step copy what you do!

For me, it’s another one to add to the try again and could do better pile - but sooo much fun to have a go!
