Video: Oil Portrait Sketch

Got the oil paints out again, getting re-acquainted with some practice. I used yellow ochre, permanent red medium, burnt sienna, prussian blue, titanium white.

2 Portrait Studies

I painted these 2 in the studio this morning as a warm-up. I used vine charcoal & black and white craft-grade acrylic paint mixed with retarder to aid wet-in-wet application. The surface is corrugated cardboard.

Audrey in Black and Yellow

I painted this 18"x24" acrylic last week. It was a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law, who is a big Audrey Hepburn fan.
