Alla Prima Portrait: Michael (Oil, 19 x 12)

Thursday. It was Punta Gorda's VAC portrait studio day. Today's model was Michael. He said it was his second time to sit for portrait painting. No wonder I did notice, during painting, that he looked sleepy. Of course, posing for portrait painting could be very tiring if you are not used to it. No posture is comfortable if you sit for hours. Intermittent breaks would not help much. My portrait today went sort of smoothly and I believe I got him in terms of likeness.
