I can’t say I’m all that happy with this week’s painting… The drawing was decent enough, but I killed it with a bit of overpainting in the lighter values.. way too many highlights.. confusing shadow shapes around the eyes.

First time I’ve ever done a portrait of a darker skin model in oils.  A bit more complicated than the lighter skinned folk,  The grey hair was a bit of a challenge as well.
