private collection
This is Eric, also a member of the art group himself and I are happily a part of. I took a bunch of shots of the group members and have collected so many possible painting possibilities.
With this portrait I decided to limit my palette—that took quite a while—and see what happened. I used cadmium red, white, black and a bit of ultramarine blue.
Really nice!
ReplyDeleteAnother stellar portrait!
ReplyDeleteWow, extremely cool. Love the starkness.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, you are just one phenomenal artist. This is an extraordinary portrait and I love that look of seriousness on his face.
ReplyDeleteDamn, girl! Great use of the limited palette. You captured so much with so little. Wow!

Very nice portrait!
ReplyDeleteBlack, white and 3 colors and I can still feel the essence of him...his contemplation and furrowed brow. All that color is really just 'frosting'. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteLimited palette... really really works! Love his expression. And placement on the page!
