Process of Palette

I created this portrait using acrylic paint applied with a palette knife.  The use of the palette knife allowed me to have a looser hand when applying the paint.  I scraped the paint on using the palette knife to create each individual layer.  Each layer of paint served to add more depth and dimension to the piece, with the total number of layers around 10.

Time to complete: 35 hours

Dimensions: 20″x16″
