Tuesdays are a painting day.

Yesterday morning was Katherine MacDonald's portrait class at the DVSA. I have stopped using any opaque pigments except at the very end of my paintings in an attempt to keep them clean. I have been struggling with the characteristics of the more staining colours but yesterday it seemed to come together. The portrait isn't perfect but I am pleased with it. With a little more time I would have worked on the hat broach and feather a bit more. The photograph of the model was taken after the painting was finished.
