Courtney




Courtney is one of my favorite models to paint. She has an expressive lovely face and gorgeous deep skin tones with blue highlights. It was especially fun to paint her swathed in the peachy fabric. I painted her on Senso linen canvas and used the bare canvas as the background. This was three hours of pure painting bliss.

Thanks Enzie, she is interesting in that she is very beautiful and it is difficult to capture that and not make the painting look trite. It's much easier to paint a mature male with lots of facial hair and glasses.
