‘Hushed tones’
-
This heavily textured canvas displays a portrait in a variety of grays and pale umber.
The painting began from my ‘story wall’ paintings of vibrant ‘Red lips’ which I pinned to the walls of my studio. I had also been influenced by the female artist, Marlene Dumas's painting ‘Naomi’.
I positioned my portrait ‘Hushed tones', in the centre of the canvas, utilising the whole space and energising the features with my expressive layering techniques. -
