Final Painting Project

With my final project I was kind of all over the place (which showed in my critique).  Above is how they were shown for my critique-- read more to see them up close! (These are the ones that inspired those doodles.)

I was playing with all sorts of sizes, techniques, and colors. As always, I was painting figures but instead I was honing in on areas with great contrast (fingers, ears, nose, etc). I ended up painting seven pieces but only showed five.
