I started to teach myself how to paint portraits, and why would I practice on someone other the Arisce Wanzer? This was the first painting I did using a new medium, water soluable oil paints, and I think these are great to do tradition dry canvas paintings. I'm really happy how this turned out. I did take some artistic liberties with the backround, but the portrait is done from a photo reference.
Thank you. The picture does have some shower selfie vibes, I didn't even realize that.
She is an American model, so the photo is I believe a casting photo. Those are great to work from since they tend to have really good lighting.
You did incredible work! Thanks for adding the photo!
I recently enrolled in the new masters academy online video classes. I saw there are many classes about human figure I did not check portraits though. Take a look at their website may be you will find something to enhance your learning.

A beautiful woman and a beautiful portrait of her! I really like the abstract geometric background! Have you considered sending a photo of this to her via social media? I’d be super stoked if someone did a great portrait of me.
I love the background you painted and the the portrait turned out amazing.
Lilikins, thank you. I did tag her in an Instagram post about this picture, and she did saw it. I was really happy about that :D (she did send me a message that she loved the painting)
Sunnylady, thanks for the recommendation, I'll check that out.
Kaysteeze, thank you.

I don’t know who she is. Please forgive me. But painting is awesome! Selfie in the shower. This is what I read. The lady is beautiful.
