Portrait Study from Life

This is a portrait study I began at a three-hour live session in Guelph and finished up in  the studio.  It's painted in oils on an 11" x 14" panel, pre-toned with a red oxide wash.

The afternoon sessions have some challenges, particularly the shifting light as the winter sun makes its quick descent.
