保持地区湿两天画花了这张图片,我这幅画在部分工作,做图第一。在图我工作足够的油漆表面,以确保它是一个简单的混合,第二天我回到那个地区工作。像往常一样,我花最多的时间在图。一旦我得到面对和我想要做它,我速度通过其余的绘画。这张照片我拍的模型只是一个指南来获得真正的面对我之后。而不是复制引用,我试图给它更多的生命。我相信没有一个照片在这个世界上,可以比较一个好油画呈现相同的主题。不完美的手绘画和明亮的视觉效果inherant在油漆只是放大了的感觉或“精神”,使画这样一个复杂的和个人的视觉语句。
To keep the areas wet over the two days it took to paint this image, I worked this painting in sections, doing the figure first. Around the figure I worked just enough paint over the surface to ensure that it would be an easy blend the next day as I worked back into that area. As usual, I spend the most time on the figure. Once I get the face done and the way I want it, I speed through the rest of the painting. The photo of the model I shot is only a guide to get to the real face I am after. Rather than copy the reference, I try to give it more life. I believe there isn't a photo in the world that can compare to a well rendered oil painting of the same subject matter. The imperfection of hand painting and the luminous visual effects inherant in oil paint only amplify the feeling or 'spirit' that makes painting such a sophisticated and personal visual statement.
