Portrait study#81 Nelita in progress

Oil on canvas
45cm x 53cm
It's the second time that Nelita poses for me. I tell myself, I have to find a nice angle of her today. I didn't like the first study of her. The skin tone of the first study wasn't right at all. In order to paint with natural light, I move her chair close to the entrance of my studio. Then, immediately, I see beautiful colors on her face. "That's what I need!" Now, I just have to relax, paint what I see and how I feel.
