Portrait Deliberate Practice Series 52/250. "GOLDILOCKS", 6" x 8", oil on MDF Board.

I love golden hair and curly hair. This model had both! So it was a delight to work on this piece. I love when people stand out and are different and not only different but they embrace their uniqueness.

Nothing beats the feeling when you love to paint a subject and you get the opportunity to paint what you love! The effect is always different, there's a spirit of excitement and curiosity as the work progresses! This is exactly how I felt painting this piece!

This is another attempt at focusing on the paint and brushstrokes. I wanted every part of this portrait to feel like an abstract painting where the colour, design, texture and effect of the paint is rich and pure. I'm focusing on the big picture here.

I used the outside-in technique. The colours I used were Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Raw Sienna, Cadmium Red, Light Red, Alizarin Crimson and Ivory Black. It's my extension of the Zorn Palette.
