Tuesday's #demo for my #allaprima #portrait class at Spruill Center for the Arts.

So happy with my class last night at Spruill , when they suggested I paint with them. Alright, you don't have to twist my arm. This was a fun 2 hr. #sketch. #whatsonmyeaselwednesday #oilpainting #portrait #art

Here's a 2 hr. demo a did from a few months back. Some days the painting will click right from the start; this painting wasn't one of those days. On those days I feel the fight which I am determined to win. I really like this demo for that reason because I feel like I won. Being under such a time restraint is good sometimes because it forces me to be economical with my decisions and strokes.
