Coloring practice

I've been doing a lot of the "start a drawing/painting and then trash it part way through" thing the past couple of weeks so there hasn't been much to post...
I'm trying to work on my coloring and observational skills so I'm just recreating reference photos using blocks of color without a base sketch (which is going to result in wonky results but it's at least forcing me to look closely at my subject.) This evening I decided to limit myself to two hours of coloring time and chose a photo of John Wayne for a reference. I might make a trend of this two hour color job thing as it's quite fun.
