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


It was Punta Gorda VAC portrait studio day. Today's model was Lisa. I don't remember whether I painted her before. Her face looked familiar but I don't see her portrait in my past works. Possibly, she came to pose for us when we needed two models and I painted the other one. I tried to use a more subtle approach but obviously I was not successful in breaking the bondage of my habitual routines. Anyway, not bold enough. I know I need to constantly remind myself of doing quick strokework. Some effects you can get only when you are driven by a subconsciously purposeful eagerness.
