Friend

I really felt the urge of painting with oils today, but I did not have a canvas of the right size nor did I know who I wanted to paint...
I decided to experiment and paint with oils on watercolor paper (by preparing it with fixative first), and as for the subject, I remembered I had taken some pictures of my friends a couple of weeks ago, and so I used my good friend Juan Carlos as my model.
I am quite happy with the results, considering I painted it in one sitting. I notice an improvement. Now I just gotta keep practicing!!! I will start working on a comission next week while I have spring break...

Enjoy!
