Speed Painting

I have been attempting to complete paintings in one sitting when possible. This afternoon I was scrolling my Facebook feed when I noticed a photo a friend posted. I decided to replicate the image and am pleased with the results. The painting is called Sunset Surfer. I've been working on speed painting because I was hired at a local gallery that offers classes. In order to develop instructor skills I must be able to produce a finished product in a short class period of three hours or less. There will be time for session courses, but I'm just getting my feet wet. This painting took a total of less than four hours.
