Oil Painting Portrait Workshop at Victorian Artists Society - Day 5

We had a new model today.
I've stopped making an initial sketch now.
It's still very difficult to block in large areas without drawing lines first, but, I've found it's great to start a portrait painting that way. It's much looser and freer.
I'm happy with overall shape at the moment, but, colours started to look a bit muddy.
I'll finish it next Monday.

Work in progress.
