3 Studies (16" x 20" Oil Portraits)

I'm in 2 different portrait classes, with very different approaches.

In one class, you have to work FAST ... one 2.5 hour session, and that's it! (examples above). I'm always rushing. In the other class, we have the same model pose for 5 weeks. That feels like too much time -- what I gain in accuracy, I lose in spontaneity!

Not too happy with these studies, but hopefully, with all this practice, eventually I'll improve.
