Tilda Swinton study

I am going to move on to speed painting because, while I enjoy working on a painting until I feel like it's finished, it isn't the most efficient way to study. But, I have reached a level with Tilda Swinton that I am, for the moment, content enough with to move on from.

Final painting

I have to stop now before I destroy the likeness of Benedict's enigmatic face by overworking it. Next on my studies-to-do list is Tilda Swinton, an equally alien-like actor. Lately I've found myself more interested in unconventionally attractive people. Studying their faces certainly makes for a more challenging and rewarding learning experience. I also found the coolness of the palette to be challenging and intriguing. It was quite fun all the way through, but probably the most difficult likeness I've ever attempted to capture.
