Head study (16.03.17)
2017
Oil on linen
50 x 40 cm
Notes: An even quicker study, 1 hour from life. I stopped earlier, as there is simply not much point in trying to render the details (especially thoughtlessly) if the initial tone lay-in is wrong. Since the features have already been indicated, I would be painting around the details, cramping my brushwork. I'm still working on being more decisive, to see the "big-form". Used a limited palette (warm/cold black, white, a dull yellow and red), to think in terms of basic tone and warm/cool relationship.
