Alla Prima Portrait: Eric (Oil, 20 x 16)

It was VAC's portrait studio day. The hall was pretty crowded. We had two models. One was Eric, our fellow artist Fran's son. The other was Cathy Robinson, who had actually arranged for her friend to pose for us. However, right before the studio began her friend called saying she was unable to come, so Cathy had to sit in her place. I had already set up for Eric so I didn't want to move even though Cathy would rather I painted her.
