Expressive Painting


This is a painting I did on Tuesday in my friend, Susan Hotard's workshop.  It was a fun and informative workshop on simplifying the lights and darks in a portrait.  I thought my painting turned out particularly expressive and loose for me.  I was pleased with it.  We had a wonderful model who was very inspiring in her dramatic looks.
