Portait Long Pose

Today at the open studio one of the other artists requested I post another portrait so I decided to do one during the studio and am posting it now. Gesture went pretty well and I used the Bridgeman four line approach to start. I spent about 2 hours including breaks on this study. Black base on a ocher ground, followed by white highlights and some red or brown local color.  

Portrait Pair

This was a pair of quick sketch portraits that I did over the weekend. Liked them, especially the facial expression and shading for the one on the left.
