Looser Style

I have always wished I could have more of a "loose" look to my portraits. A more painterly look (if you will). This, plus my desire to always learn more led me to "Little Glimpses" Studio ran by the very kind and loving artist Mystele. She is teaching a class called "The Hub Too" and I signed up for it. Here are the two pieces I made in the class. How do you like the more loose style of the faces? I am very pleased with them and the process was extremely easy (thanks to Myste).
