Other info: I made this for a friends 30 years birthday. It's a sort of portrait of him, of course from head, but luckily I had a couple of pictures with his face on so it was easier for me to make it look like him, giving away a portrait which does not look like the person is pointless..anyway I made up the rest of course and the shadow and tones. It's not often I try oil, but it's always a pleasure when I do.
It was nice to finally do something on a canvas from imagination. Since this friend of mine and his girlfriend has a minimalistic taste with interior, I made the graphic outline and grey background to make it fit more with their style. I also used only Black and White, Cadmiun Red and a bit Yellow Ochre, since their taste pretty much goes around Grey and red. The picture is about 1 meter in high and 50 cm wide, so def. the biggest oil I've ever made.
