I'm a big fan of and he was kind enough to allow me to use this photo as a painting study:
I don't know the name of the model, but I will update with that information when I get it.
I was trying something very different with this one: large size (about 2k x 3k) with Chris Wahl's huge Oil brushes, most of the time somewhere between 100 and 300 pixels wide. It looks pretty good when shrunk, but if you look at a detail, the brush strokes are very rough.
Thanks, ArtOriginal! This was a wonderful photo to study painting with.
