I've been bringing a model into my studio once a week lately.  Fellow artist Dwight was willing to pose and I completed this oil wash in a few hours last week.  This technique is one I have students work in on the first day of my portrait workshop.  I've scheduled a 2-day Portrait Workshop in Monterey June 14-15 (details within Events/Workshops).

Completed in 3 hours.

Dwight came back this week and I completed this second head study in a limited palette in opaque oils.

In progress.
