Female Profile "Courtney", 6x8" oil portrait

Still working with a few head studies to practice skin tones, as well as features.  On this one, I tried very hard to capture a likeness as well as the proper skin tones.

$80 + 10

She has that beautiful ivory skin, full of blues, lavenders and peaches.

It took several tries to capture her cute upturned nose just right.

I have not done portraits for many years and find that I am enjoying the challenge this week.  It's always good to push yourself now and then.

GRANDMA WAS A VAMP, 8x6, OIL

Things have changed a lot in the last 100 years.  What was considered a hottie and scandalous then...not so much today.

Anyway, I like the baby doll features on this head.  It makes a haunting portrait.

FLAPPER I, 8X6, OIL, SOLD

I am devoting this week to doing portraits that are also value studies.  I put down a cad. red tone and scratched through the paint with the handle of my brush in areas.  I like the warmth I achieved with this technique.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DAUGHTER, SHELLY!
