Tom
This is a painting of my friend Tom. He substitutes when the life model doesn't show up. Personally, I like painting him more than most of the models. This was a 2.5 hour study.

Very nice pallet, and strokes. I always want to paint after comming here.
yup! that's very nice and quick!
do you never go further on some of your studies, I mean, this one could make an excellent portrait
Thanks guys,
Anders - I haven't taken a head study much further than this yet (with the exception of my Sargent study, shown somewhere below). I'm not quite confident enough with it to do a formal portrait. Plus, I find that I get more out of the quicker studies anyway. One day, though!
Very nice! Great quality of light.
SO good! Check out that shirt! Beautiful stuff, Marco!
Wow, nice study!!!!
I already enjoyed the Sargent painting but this one is also very good Marco you are geting into the paletes dude!
WON-DER-FUL!!.. excelent study!!..
Beautiful. The tones are so, so subtle which just lends to the feel of him. I prefer the looseness and look of the less formal study. I think it captures the life of the character much better.Love it Marco.
thats nice of him to do that :)
excellent study Marco. Inspirational as always!!
Marco this is great - I love your colour choices. super
Beautiful Piece!:)
Really strong strong study!
solid.
like the last few
Very good speed paint!
O_o
How do you do it man?? absolutly beautiful...2.5hours??? mindblowing!
Sweeeeeeeet. Was that done with only flat brushes?
thanks everyone.
Shou - I use exclusively filbert brushes actually. I build up paintings in small tiles, which gives it that flat-brush look, I think.
Ken - thanks man. Most of my work goes into doing my best to get each stroke as accurate as I can, so I have to do minimal fixing later on. Fixing stuff is what REALLY will slow you down.
DUDE, you're starting to really kick butt with your oils, this is sweet man!
Great portrait Marco.
Wonderful use of light and colour.
Oops, sorry that sounded a bit arty-farty, but it's true.
Very nicely done - really like the feeling of light .
sweet painting Marco! great light, and great personality!
Hey.... it's Tom!! nice one man.
It's so fun to see something so loose yet so well designed. It's beautiful
Hi there! I like you portrait paintings with lots of stroke on the planes, nice job!
I really like this. There is so much movement in the brush work.
awsome awsome awwwwsome
