Description

Completed this spring 2008 semester.

Oil on Birch Panel. 24in x 34in.

I used the Renaissance style of oil painting.

Under painting in umbers and sienna. Lots of oil glazes on top with opaque oils worked into the glaze.

Very nice painting. I was going to comment on the nose, but noses were exaggerated in length during the Renaissance Era, so it fits quite well.

Thanks, and yes I know what you mean about the nose, but sadly it came out like it did. I blame it on my professor, because I only changed it to suite him so that I would pull off an A from it.

Hopefully if it isn't raining today I will be able to take it outside a get a nice clean shot of it with good lighting.

Thanks, I was trying to go for a Rembrandt style with a lot of darks, but in the process I somehow managed to capture a sorta pissed off mood with the facial expressions.

I imagine the pissed off mood wasn't too far from the truth while painting it, because my professor was a perfectionist and seemed to nit pick at everything I did compared to the other students.
