This portrait was just painted from life in alla prima style, the model had a classic beauty and did a great job holding a pose as she was modelling for the first time for a painting, it’s not always easy

Did some more work on this five by seven, when I started it I ran out of ivory black, so it never got dark enough which is essential for a tonal painting like this, it came to the full value

This as an older small still life that I just re-touched, what I usually do is add a layer of linseed oil all over the dried painting and bring life and color to an old painting, some parts stay untouched
