April14 2017 Portrait

Couple hour study of a live model the other night.  Still improving my color choices.  It looks way better here than how it started...which I guess is how art works.  But I was so frustrated with it in the beginning and hated the way it looked.  I'm just happy I struggled through it.  More improvements with every piece!  The black lipstick she wore was a huge pain and I was glad to find a couple other painters agreed with that frustration.
