One of my favorite shows to watch is the BBC's Portrait Artist of the Year. I decided to paint one of the sitters as an exercise. The competition for each portrait is what can be accomplished in four hours. I spent 3.5 hours on this one. It could be good practice to do more of these, since many of the sitters are unfamiliar to me. Emily is an award-winning singer/songwriter based in the U.K. I thought she had a regal bearing and I liked the three-quarter angle. Updated 5/29/2025: I changed the background a wee bit with an overlay of lavender.
