New portrait study

So let's see, it been oh...four months since I last posted a painting. I've been very neglectful of my blog and am trying to be disciplined to post more paintings. This is a recent one of a model from my weekly figure class.

Recent oil portraits from Thursday night class

Here are some recent oil portraits I did from my Thursday evening sketch class. Both done from models who sat for approximately 2 hours.

Two hour head study in oil

I did this painting awhile back - nearly a year ago to be exact. I go to a figure/portrait class every Thursday evening (one of the 'open session' - meaning no instruction - type of class). It was hard to race the clock, as I only had two hours to complete it, but it was tons of fun to paint!

This model is known to fall asleep during a pose. I'm thankful he didn't this time.
