Sasha.jpg

Dear Steemit,

this is one of my recent portrait sketches, "Sasha", 8x10 inches, oil on linen. It is done from life in one session. I like to paint wet on wet from life, it creates special bond between me, sitter and painting. Some conversations during such sessions stay in the memory for long time and make these paintings more personal.

You can see process stages in the picture below. Hope you dig it!

How long did it take you to do this awesome portrait?

About 3.5 hours, thanks ;)
