I decided that my work was looking a bit too polished so I thought I should fuck it up a bit. Instead of using my technique to mask the nature of the paint I use I decided to celebrate the viscosity of the medium. I wanted to fracture the portraits I paint, breaking them apart like tectonic plates with the oil oozing out of the space between.
I thought it would be a good idea to start a whole series of these heads on the same board, mainly because we are running out of room in the studio.
