A new face - this time, throwing all pretense of realism clearly out the window.
I started with this sketch, then combined a couple of ref images for background and palette:
A couple of closeups:
A lot of times I end up liking my closeup pics better than the whole painting.
The face in my sketch is really uneven. Ugh. But I wanted to pursue this sketch with the oil pastels, since at least I had a woman with a little attitude this time - and no hat! I was able to hide some of those mistakes with the hair.
This one was very freeing.
