I think this study is an improvement from my last face. The trick is to quickly switch between the eyedrop tool and the brush. using the colors on the blurred edge of painted marks can somewhat imitate blending techniques in paint.
This head is the Duchess of Richmond by Peter Lely, the favored court painter of Charles the 2nd. She was one of the women who famously refused the king's sexual advances. The hair on the forehead may be a little odd. I didn't really bother to paint her pearl necklace on. This was more about he head.
