Here are 2 portraits of Aku, a singer and an English teacher. They had been painted when I was teaching Art in Chendu, Sichuan, China.

The portraits are not very saturated, but I was merely interested in play of light and shadow. I found that the contrast of dark skinned and black dressed model against the white wall is extreemly interesting for painting.
