Work in Progress: Ski Cap Chap Portrait

Work in Progress: Ski Cap Chap Portrait
The new semester has begun at SMFA... I am taking Portrait painting with Hamra Abbas (fantastic). We were able to photograph our regular model, Ski Cap Chap, in any pose we desired. I asked him to lift his famous cap off his head.
The first session involved underpainting... I want this to have a rather warm based result.... and I am enjoying counterintuitive color choices as I explore the identity of the model.
I love this stuff!
Oil on wood panel, 18"x24"
