You Have My Diivided Attention

This is an small oil painting painted last year. It measures 9x9x3. My favorite color scheme of red, blue, yellow was used. I used a technique called "technique mixte." You essentially draw the portrait in charcoal and begin layering darks, whites, and finally color. I love the finished paintings much more than my acrylic paintings, but the process takes so long because each layer must be fully dry before beginning the next layer.
