Untitled #183
12" X 16"
Oil on Canvas
2013
This painting from life was a 3 hour pose completed at a Catalyst workshop in Westminster, CA. The profile is typically thee most graphic of all portrait positions. It lends itself well to an angular way of working.
The "knickerbocker" canvas manufactured by Fredrix is a good surface to work on in terms of it's ability to preserve sharp edges. Granted a lot of canvas surfaces do this well, but the thing I was most impressed with was that the paint sinks in just enough while working Alla-Prima so that you don't encounter any kind of significant "railing" on either side of a moderately loaded brush.
