Daily painting: quick portrait

These days I’m mostly working on Munich scenes, trying to get several more paintings completed before my Open Studio at the end of the month. But no matter how hard I try to stay focused, I always crave variety in what I’m working on, so I’m still sneaking in a couple of daily paintings per week. For this one, a quick portrait modeled on the high school graduation photo of my grandmother, I used burnt sienna, white, and a brown mixed from various paints I was clearing off my palette.

  1. Thanks, Barabara, Melisa and B! It has been a long time since I’ve done a (mostly) two-color painting, and I really enjoyed it. Might have to see what other old photographs my family can dig up.
