Kena study, 9x12, oil on board

Hey,I was invited to Jason Conn's studio yesterday. He had a model come in for a few hours. I think it was three? It's been a while since I've worked from life, so I struggled throughout our time.  I was working a little small and using slightly bigger brushes than what I should have been using. 

I worked on the face a lot, by the end it barely resembled her. I think I aged her 10 years or so. HA! I had the most trouble with the cheek, I felt like I painted over that about 17 times? The background needs to be lighter too (if I'm going according to what I saw), and the hair was more saturated. She had blue hair. 

Sorry, no progress pictures or of what Jason did. I was so focused on painting, plus my hands were covered in oil. However, if you do want to see more of Jason's work, you can find him here, there, and over there. Till we meet again, Friday is it?
