Workshop Description
This portrait took and hour and a half hours to paint working in a wet on wet process. Marion goes through steps of layering colours and mixing them to model the face. She work with three sizes of brushes, but wanted to try keep the painting loose by not using the smaller brushes too much. The reference photograph is shown in comparison to the finished painting at the end.
