Had a little fun last night with some almost done left over paint and an old abused brush. The light was bad and it looks like my mood was bad (wasn't though), and it turned out okay for about an hours work. My take away from this was do more portraits from life with minimal drawing. If the eyes and mouth are located the rest can just happen. It's all about the values and edges. There is room for improvement of course, but the exercise was a quick impression with limited resourses.
