A new painting in drybrush.

[Alexandra Tyng]

I don't think the drawing is bad, if you mean the proportions and modeling of form. On the contrary, I think it is improving every time you post. By drybrush, do you mean you are mixing oils without medium? I am assuming you are working in oil because it looks like oil.

Judson, I have a suggestion: I think you are doing so well on these self-portraits that it is time you took a leap and painted someone else from life. There must be someone you know who would be thrilled to have a portrait of themselves in return for X hours of sitting. Your painting will progress much faster if you challenge yourself in this way.

Bravo! I've been watching your work and this is definately your best so far. Great drawing and warm/cool tones in the skin. Keep at it!
