My main goal for this piece was to broaden my artistic style in my concentration through a more gestural oil painting.
In this piece, the warm colors of the skin tone contrast the darks and blues used in the reflection on the window and the background with the city street. I also pulled some of the warmer colors into the reflection in attempts to unite the piece.
I started this piece with increasing layers of thickening paint, and I layered the paint thicker on the face to avoid fully blending the values in order to gain a better understanding of gestural painting.
