Day 3 09/03/16 Thirty Paintings in 30 Days

I started this painting for an online acrylic portrait workshop with Chantel Barber.  I had a hard time with the new medium and with doing portraits, which is also new for me.  Chantel was very helpful, but I think I would have done better if I took her workshop in person for my first time using acrylics.
