African oil painting
Progress:
Finnished Project and Artist Statement:
For this project I was inspired by tribal African culture. I decided to do an oil painting so I began by stretching a canvas and painting it yellow as a base. I painted in the main shapes and then went back and added more and more detail. I started with the face and the headdress and went from there. I struggled a lot with this painting because it was really outside my comfort zone because it was just a portrait. I wasn't able to put in as much detail as I wanted and it didn't turn out exactly as I had envisioned it but I do like it. Im very proud of myself for finishing it and I really like how it turned out.
