The green you see is the ground I painted onto - after finishing the head and shoulders, I left it, thinking it was perfect as is. Great strong color, just loved painting on it.
I like the background. I like his skin. But what I really like is his immediacy. It's as though you caught him in the middle of a sentence. Wonder what he'a about to say?
His skin tones are beautiful - very rich in color and energy with your brush strokes. His expression is so interesting. The bright green background adds to the total vibration.

It's stunning, really punchy! POW! Love all the colours in this guy's skin as well. It gives him so much life, amazing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with leaving the bg as is - it really sings against the reddish hues in his skin!
ReplyDeleteVery very beautiful!
