Mike Swain Portrait - Sadness

<< Back to the Portraits

I chose here to use very muted colours, to drain energy from the painting and to emphasise the sadness of the sitter in this portrait. I also use an unprimed background and simulated pastels and pencils to add to the melancholy. [Duration: 1:40 minutes. Please click on the play button below, or download the video: MOV]
