Since I have been recently painting many Indian people, especially women, I decided that I want to paint my friend Paridhi because I know her story and her well, and just generally want to work on my painting style and composition. I found Thomas Donaldson online and immediately fell in love with his work, and especially this head study. I think that instead of going full on abstract expressionist, I will instead focus on further color theory and brush strokes. I'm super excited for this piece!
The lips were kind of a disaster, so I left them just completely shadows and I think it worked kind of well? The nose wasn't super difficult to complete, and much to my surprise, the left side of the face was, in my opinion, the easiest to do. I just dragged the dark umber to the general shadows of my face and it worked quite well. I also introduced a bit of purple which seemed to add a lot to the piece, and am thinking that I may just leave it like this with more of a rough finish towards the end. I am worried about how I will resolve the eyebrow portion, but I am going to plan that out by looking more of Cambria's work.
