An afternoon with The SAA

Mid July I had a great time in the recording studio of the  SAA taking part in a live stream painting demonstration. I painted a portrait using a limited palette in oils.

It wasn’t until later that night when it suddenly hit me that I hadn’t painted any eyebrows! That explains the strange look on her face…

Anyway, I’ve added the eyebrows as can be seen in the photo.
