Portrait Practice 2

Ok, I’ve realized that I kinda suck at painting portraits and that is okay.

I’m not afraid at admitting what I’m not good at. In most cases is it motivating and gives me a clear direction. I know now that I need to work on painting portraits.

I will say that I could spend several more sessions on this painting and bring it back to something that actually looks good but what I want to accomplish is a good looking portrait painting in 2 hours time. So, I’ll study up on this and this blog may see an influx of many more portrait paintings.
