This was the first of the paintings done during my March Challenge. It is also the first time I tried my hand at portraits, and I loved it.

It´s acrylic on canvas, 60cm x 80cm (23.6in x 31.4in).

I´m now working on my second portrait and I´m enjoying it so far. As for the challenge itself, I have to say that today was a really hard day. I found numerous distractions and kept pushing the painting time forward… was it the famous weekend effect? I stopped for two days and then it was hard to go back? I don´t know.

I finally got to painting, and the session was productive enough. I´m glad I made the effort, but boy, today it was an effort. Good habits are difficult to gain!
