Head study-3

I went home for the Holiday of Thanksgiving and foolishly brought client work with me because I should have known none of it would have gotten done. Family, I love you but you are not vey good for productivity. So instead to take up the free time between events my family members were planning for the brief time we were back together I decided to try to paint something mindless and still beneficial.

For some reason I always go back to head drawings when ever I want to paint who knows what because its something I never tire of painting and never get stressed about. Also painting hot chicks is fun.

I had actually started this one some time ago but now with Illuxcon gone by, I wanted push myself interms of detail and what makes faces recognizable. This is image is a study of a photo I found on the internet but I hope to eventually bring this much detail to my other more creative works.

Finally an Environment

Lately I've been realizing there are a lack of environment pieces in my portfolio  So I sought to remdy that by painting this. It was an odd but productive experience in lighting and color. I think I learned a lot of over the course of painting it.
