Quick Portrait from Live Model #2

Acrylic on Canvas 15" x 12"

May 11, 2010. Golden Open Acrylic. A very quick live model painting. This one was noteworthy in that it is the fastest I have ever finished a portrait. We only had 30 minutes for this pose. There were a lot of short cuts taken in the process. I am somewhat surprised in how close it came to being complete. I think I could have gone back and filled in all the details with another 15 minutes. Sometimes it seems that I may be better off not having too much time on a painting - there is less possibility to overwork it.
