Alla prima today 20x16 oil on linen. Done from a photo of artist Peter Leventhal. I saw the photo and was compelled to try and paint him. Earlier this week Iwas studying portraits by Paul Cezanne, Camille Pissaro and Corot and noticed how fearlessly they used big value shifts. I attempted to do that in this portrait.
Amazing Susan! Love this-strong and confident!
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about oils - technique or critique, but i know i like this painting! And he reminds me of an old skiing and dental school buddy. [Tom is a "righteous dude"!]
