I love painting faces from slightly above or below – makes things a little more interesting. This was painted from a really badly taken blurry photo so a lot was made up :p I wanted to paint this as loosely as possible, with brush strokes and all and was tempted to work on it more but Maria told me to leave it and I think she was right.
I started this months ago and had painted an burnt umber under-painting and then left the canvas in a corner so much of the work had been done – it took me about 3 evenings to bring it to completion.
