This is a demonstration I painted during my New York portrait workshop at the School of Visual Arts this past week. I do a demo for every course and workshop I lead.

The purpose of the demo is to illustrate, to my students, the three basic procedural steps I utilize in building a painting: a monochromatic transparent underpainting, an initial lay-in of color and a scumble developed to a finish state. Each subsequent layer is applied over dry paint.

Unfortunately, I rarely get to take these paintings anywhere near the level of finish which I develop for my finished portraits but I felt this painting captured her spirit. The painting is 14 x 18 inches.
