"Portrait Study" by Heather Pilapil, 10"x8", Oil on Primed Masonite. Framed in a beautiful wooden frame with black sides. Comes with attached certificate of authenticity hand signed by the artist.

This is one of Heather's earliest full color paintings done in college nearly two decades ago. This was a figure study from life for a larger double portrait painting she did. The model's name was James and he was a regular figure model at the school. She always enjoyed drawing and painting him, and even though this figure study wasn't required for the assignment, she wanted to experiment with pushing the color tones of his skin to represent form, especially in his face.
