I love to paint the human figure regardless of what gender or orientation the person is. I also feel that it’s important for me to expand my repertoire and try different things occasionally in my painting and so this painting is an attempt to bring all the things that I’ve learned recently in painting on a slightly different subject matter.

One of the things that I really love about oil painting is the fact that I can very textures and attempt to show different types of skin and flesh by how I handle texture. In this painting I tried to make the brushstrokes a little bit more fluid and curvilinear compared to how I usually paint men which has a little bit more for staccato and geometric quality to the brushwork. I also wanted to set off the figure to the background by changing the texture from the foreground to the background. Primarily I used brushes on the figure and on the background I started with a brushed in coat of one color and then came back in on top with some colors that I literally plastered on top of me canvas panel.
