Head number 31. This is my first portrait coming back from vacation. Trying to ease back into a routine, after reading so much art history and criticism (light beach reading lol) and simply observing.

Head number 30. Almost 1/3 of the way there. I have seen a tremendous change in my painting and approach to the portrait. Really enjoying this.

Head number 29! Trying for the 1 hour portrait.

Really enjoying this challenge! It's getting me warmed up for the rest of the art making day and pushing me forward. This one came in at 2 hours which was my goal. For August I am going to try for 1.5 -2 hours. I'm not trying to rush them, but I want to force myself to make decisions rather than overthink or overwork. Here is head number 22. I love the purple shadows that the Zorn palette lends itself to very well.

Catching up on the 100 head challenge. Worked on a few more. Struggled with some issues, but glad I have been able to identify them! Making progress even when I make a mess. Head number 20. Aside from the yellow ochre mustache, I enjoyed this angle.
