Classical Portrait Study with Oil
I previously shared a portrait study I was working on. Here are some more details to that. I was surprised to learn how much red is in this painting. I am always done with this one, and although it is not exact, I am okay with it because I have learned so much. I plan to do more of these in the future.

Portrait Study on 12″ x 16″ Linen Panel
This is a copy of an Old Master’s self-portrait. I began this using the glazing method as taught at ARC, Boston.

However, working slowly step by step has taught me so much.
