I found this picture on Pinterest & immediately loved the expressiveness and light&shadow work of the photo: Pinterest

So, this is my final result, following the class guidelines & using the Loish's hard round brush :)

This was my first time painting a portrait & it was really rewarding! Thank you for this class :)

I fell in love with portrait painting in the meantime, so here is other portraits I did using the same techniques learned in this class (in cronological order) :)
