Description

This portrait was painted on hardboard with a layered plaster combo background. A plaster compound was mixed with various adhesive to ensure greater resilience and longevity. Over this compound I used a palette knife with acrylic paints and enjoyed creating more layers of various browns, siennas, umbers, reds and oranges to reflect the warmth of her black/brown skin. Always loving to paint the natural beauty of these African women, the high contrasts with the warm skin tones and cool whites and blue, (cool/warm contrasts) ended up becoming one of my favorite paintings.

Great painting. Love the texture and palette knife work.

I love the use of texture and color here with that wonderful sea green in the background and vivid brown skin. The face is beautiful...as is all of it! v/f
