Small oil portrait. One of the rare occasions where I painted alla prima and finished one sitting (I'm trying to be quicker). 22x27 cm, about 8.6x10.6 inches

Very beautiful work, and all the more impressive for completing it in one sitting!
 
Wow- this is a beautiful portrait. Alla prima is so challenging- but you have shown real skill here. Congratulations!
 
Thank you everyone :) I'm quite happy with this one, well as happy as I can be (allthough I see things to improve). I need that some times, when other paintings frustrate me.
 
Great job with it. Especially for one sitting.
I've been working on my ability to quickly paint a figure but I still need at least 3 sittings to keep from turning it to mud.
 
Your portrait has a 3_D, "jump-off-the-canvas" type of appearance to me. I could not possibly paint a portrait using your method, but you are, most definitely a master of this technique. Excellent portrait!
