Here's another portrait study of a sitter from the BBC series Portrait Artist of the Year.  I'm trying to finish these studies in 4 hours and under, and so far so good.  This one took about 3 hours.  I'm gearing up for a figure painting workshop with Jacob Dhein in Italy the last week in August.

This is a study of Alexa Chung, a British clothing designer and style influencer. I felt drawn to paint her with that quirky pose.
