this paiting is the first completed figure painting i have EVER done. i have done a good many hour long studies but this is the product of a progression of studies done with a specific focus on the figure in an indoor setting. it was expected that while working on these paintings we do a master study of sorts. Euan Uglow was my inspiration artist. his work is incredible. there are parts of this painting that i hate (the anatomy is off a bit i know) but there is something wonderful that i have discovered on my journey: connection with this wonderful medium. I used palet knives to achieve much of the texture. mostly i just kept fearlessly adding layer after layer of thick oil paint and then i got to play with this putty of color. it was pretty much amazing. below is a detail of the shoulder area (maybe the best example of the texture)
