Acrylic training portraits

Here comes also some traditional work - after the previous post with digital sketches. So this time portraits done with acrylics.
Painted with acrylics on A4 artist hardboard

The first picture was really not easy one and I suppose it´s also because of not very good reference picture. I was messing with paint and it was too rushed...

I like the second picture more, I was trying to calm down and prepare some color strings with burnt umber as a baseline color.
