Chelsea posed for us at Michelle Murphy-Ferguson's studio a few weeks back. I Instantly keyed in on the relationship of her skin tones with the green background. Tried to paint the first piece thinly to show multiple layers of colors overlapping.

Afterward, I had another 40 minutes, before the end of the setting, so I made a quick study in which the paint was thicker. I think I like the expressive quality of the paint and the richer colors in the second one. Though the drawing was less accurate due to time constraints.
