Working On A Portrait of a Friend
I decided to do some work on a portrait of my friend and fellow painter, Servando, today. Mostly, reemphasizing the darker areas.

Distorted Self-Reflection: A peek into how I approach the alla prima process, when painting a portrait.
Motivated by my "Blasts From The Past" post, I decided to get back into painting these alla prima portraits, on at least a semi-daily basis. Still working on my larger paintings, this gives me an outlet for experimentation and spontaneity. I thought that I'd give folks a look into the alla prima process, that is, in how I approach the alla prima process. Stopping to take pictures, certainly slowed me down a little, but I think that it was worth it. I might still go back into this one, to give it a more refined look; but for now, this series of photos will give you an idea of how I work around the painting. Enjoy.
