Hour portrait session, Maria Kovalenko Leysens


I was late to this weeks portrait session and had just over an hour of work time on this one.
I would have worked the shadow values in stronger and blended the grays in the skin tones alittle smoother, but for the time I had, the likeness I got, I am happy.

Anyone having problems with their comments taking? I already commented on your painting, Maria - but it must have gotten gobbled up by the bloggersphere! I am amazed at what you accomplished here in such a short period of time - it's great!
