Portrait of Alex

Alex 24x 30 Oil on canvas
I just finished a portrait of my niece, Alex. She wanted to be painted with her hunting bow. We went to Chandler Park for the initial photo shoot to determine the composition. The monochromatic colors of both her surroundings and wardrobe lent itself to a limited pallet. Texture became a very important element of the overall composition. I really enjoyed working with a more limited pallet and will definitely do so again.
