Oil Figure Study using Neutral grays and blacks. Oil on Canvas Paper. 7x5 inch.
This oil study originally started out as a female figure with a blocked, graphic art style creating shadows on the face. As I was painting, I started to make a more abstracted figure, deviating from my original reference photo into a face almost resembling Marlon Brando. The way the lines move almost makes it seem like the face is in motion. This painting specifically is a part of the oil study series that has 4 variations: dark greyscale, light greyscale, warm tones, and cool tones.
This figure study has an interesting subject that would make a unique focal point in any room. It is handpainted and crafted as part of an oil exercise that allows for only 30 min - 1 hr spent on each study. My love of human figures is definitely emphasized in this painting and expressed throughout the series.
Care:
This painting is made on canvas paper with raw oil paint, meaning it is unvarnished or protected. The best way to display this piece is to frame it or hang it with pins. If the painting becomes dusty, use a paper towel or rag to wipe away the dirt.
This painting is an original creation by me and is part of a larger series available in my Etsy store!
