8″ x 8″ – Oil on paper
This 8″ x 8″ self portrait color study is on black cotton rag paper. It is a whimsically cropped painting of my lips, eyes and nose. The purpose of this painting was to study the extreme movements of my face and lips in preparation for an animation. An animation based on this pose was never created, however I came away with an interesting couple pieces to put on display. Face Two is its companion piece.
