This is the second painting I've done of Alyssa - always a beautiful model that holds her pose perfectly. It started with a 3 hour "Zoom live" painting event sponsored by the Palette and Chisel. However, I spent another several hours a couple of days later to bring it to the current level. Alyssa had a fairly bright light on her camera which had the effect of washing out the lighted side of her face and creating bold shadows on the shaded side. Getting color and value right was a challenge.
