Oil paint and oil pastel on canvas,
14 x 11 in.
Simplicity is an oil painting on canvas that I created at a local figure drawing studio, studying the bust of a live nude model. With this piece, I continued to experiment with abstracted color schemes, surfacing the model’s yellow undertones in her skin and emphasizing the red hues in her hair. I then went over the piece with oil pastels, creating dramatic and interesting lines over the painting to add character to the piece.
