| Oil on canvas 45cm x 53cm Every time when I go to my piano lesson or pick up my kids from our piano teacher. I always see Mr. Smith who has a very nice facial contour with beautiful white braids sits in front of his house. I thought I had to ask him to pose for me. Well... I did. And, we worked this afternoon. Here's the portrait in progress. He is supposed to come back next Friday again. He's a great model...I'll paint him very often. I'm not sure if this was the right background color. Too colorful? |

Portrait study#86 Mr. Smith in progress
Portrait study#85 Ms. Fahima
 |
| Oil on canvas 45cm x 53cm The first time when I saw Ms. Fahima was when I drove my sitter, Amal home. Amal is Ms. Fahima's youngest son. She wore black head scalf, black long dress and black long pants. All black. I was fascinate by her appearance til today. She looked just like someone popped out from Sahara Desert. I told her that I had to paint her in that mystery outfit again. She agreed. : ) The painting is already painted in my mind!!! I'll show you all maybe in 2 months time after I reset my studio. Cannot wait to do it! |

Portrait study#84 Ayah in progress
 |
| Oil on canvas 45cm x 53cm As usual, the light changes dramatically but I really like the natural light. So, what should I do to be able to work longer...I notice the studio of P&C from Chicago, they use both natural and studio light. Maybe I should do that too! And, it looks too cold now. I should add more warm color on it on next session. |
Portrait study#83 Mrs. Safa In progress
 |
| Oil on canvas 45cm x 53cm I wish I could have worked longer this morning. That's one of the problems with natural light when we paint with it. Sometimes it changes so fast that I don't even notice. But, at the same time, I'm so intrigued by it. It makes me see so much colors that I don't usually see with my studio light. So vibrate those colors are. To me, they feel almost alive dancing on the face of my sitters. How amazing! |
