Polyscias Scutellaria
Fall 2024
Orvieto, Italy
Oil paint on wood panel
I had previously created a painting using the same reference of my face the year prior, however, I wanted to revisit the photo because I wanted to see my development after a year.
Now looking at this painting, I definitely can see progress in the confidence of my paint strokes as well as the color theory and overall anatomy. This piece is more painterly and captures my expression of peace and serenity better than the previous one.
The piece was was displayed in our end-of-semester show, Mostra, and was sold to a local Italian.
