Portrait Play

This portrait was exciting, and to be honest if mixing paint isn’t exciting, I’m doing it wrong. The challenge and joy of pigment is invigorating in a way that is no innate to humans. To me it makes complete sense to try and make a picture out of day.

Each time I paint I use different brushes depending on the surface I’ve invented. There are so many to try and I find that its very natural to change how I use my tools. The way particulat bristles touch the surface. And how I’ve handeled the impremattura all work together for my delight and discerning devotion to the piece.
