This was done in two 90 minute sessions (from life).

I'd rather paint a dark or neutral background, but she insisted on this blue one.

Comments and suggestions for a future project are welcome. I'm not changing anything in this one.

Ps. It looks a lot weird on my screen, I hope it's better on yours, you know, besides being a horrible photographer, I don't know how to use photoshop.

It looks great, Bonfim.

For coming portraits I would suggest that you place the model higher, at least at the same hight as your self, to avoid the foreshortenig of the neck.

Great job, Claudemir. I wish I could convey as much as you have in two 90 minute sessions.

Actually I like to paint standing up. I already ordered a model plataform which will resolve the problem.

Thank you!
My sidewalk portraits are a very good exercise for fast drawing and consequently fast painting.
People nowadays are so impatient that you need to be fast if you want to do portraits from life.
