The top painting is of Maureen, my neighbor, classmate, fellow Kaman's coworker, its for my illustration portrait painting class. On this one I focused more on defining shapes and having smooth transitions from light to shadow rather than focusing on exact color. I used a limited color palette of red oxide, yellow ochre, ivory black and titanium white. The second painting is a one day painting I did in my fine arts portrait painting class. This took about 6 hours.
