My challenge for this piece was two fold- both a high contrast and multiple textures in that lighting. I had been in the mood to paint Alexander Skarsgard for a while after watching Murderbot, which is particularly delightful. This particular shot really leant itself to some of the lighting effects I’d been experimenting with at the time.
Collection Details:
Little Oil Paintings is an ongoing collection of handmade original art works. Each 8x10 canvas board set in a very simple white mat and black frame. My intention with this collection is to allow myself to explore and experiment artistically while still staying true to a very simple presentation. Each piece is a visual riddle. Sometimes it was a challenge in light, or color, or emotion that made me ask myself “Can I pull this off?” Every painting in this collection represents a victorious “Yes”.
