Shawn looking forward
Hi everyone
The sluggish Michigan economy is giving me time to play with my own paintings instead of commissions. This is a painting of my son and his unruly hair. He is much taller than me and this is how I commonly view him. I am practicing on speed, and on using a limited palette. This took 3 days and I used Cad Red Medium, Cad Yellow Medium, Ultramarine Blue, Ivory Black, and Titanium White, I under painted with a mixture of Transparent Red Oxide and Phthalo Green.
In real life the contrast between the hair and the skin is softer and the contrast between the cool light on the left and the skin is harder but I could not convince my camera of this.
Of all the paintings I have done of him this is the closest I have come to capturing his personality.
Thank you for viewing.
