More fabulous portrait sessions! These are works in progress, as we learn how to use acrylic paints and oils to build up lights and darks, warms and cools.

Portrait practice in acrylics and oils
Portrait practice in acrylics oils — and no, we’re not chasing likeness here, just learning how to paint skin tones with confidence!
