Depicted below is one of my first few studies on portrait painting where I realized how impatient I can be. Why make art when you're rushing the process? You can't! Unless you're fine with a crappy outcome. And honestly, to my eyes, this study isn't all that great when demonstrating how much I've learned with oil painting. Her nose is crooked, her skin tone isn't as vibrant and dimensional as I want it to be ,fja djfkla blah blah a few things I wish I took the time working on.
Diggin' the background tho. Totes unintentional, but that's how I always paint my backgrounds lol.
Portrait Study No. 4 - oil on paper
