The Journeyman Returns
The Tuareg Tribesman journeyed back into the studio for some changes.
At first, I had painted him exactly as the photograph depicted him, holding a cigarette in his hand. Here's what the acrylic painting looked like before...
However, the hand holding the cigarette didn't look right (is he giving us the middle finger?!). So I blacked out his hand.
It was so challenging matching the skin tone colors the way they were before.
I modeled my own hand for reference.
It was challenging matching the background as well. But as it turns out, the sky came out better than the original, with a little more boldness to make the tribesman really pop.
The painting is complete and will be made into limited edition prints next week.
Thanks for visiting the studio!
