"Red Scarf"

 oil

12"x16"

This painting was 2.5 hours from life and about 2 more hours touch up from a digital photo. I've been working more on painting people recently, it's quite a challenge. For myself as well as 90% of other artists, it's hard to get a decent painting within a couple of hours. Accurate drawing is the most important thing- more important than knowledge of anatomy, lighting conditions, etc. Click the links below for close ups.
