sunday portrait: Sean

This one was a struggle, I was feeling rushed because Sean really needed to be out in three hours, it was actually from 1-3 pm which was really only two hours so I was extra pressured. Painting like this is kind of a struggle because Im trying to keep the likeness and establish planes of the face with one stroke of the brush. Often with multiple unmixed paints on one brush.

This portrait was excruciating. I was ridiculously sick. After every twenty minute pose I was rushing to the bathroom to say hello to the toilet bowl. With my face. It actually turned out pretty good given the circumstances.
