Monk

This 2010 concept piece has a slightly more classical approach to it. My aim was realism to a modest degree while working within the constraints of a speed-painting.
My inspiration was William Bouguereau's use of sharp contrast, composition and most of all, subtlety of color. I picked a stark-white robe for that very reason. Although the colors are more noticeable on the face and hands, the focal points...I must have spent triple the time and effort applying color to the robe. The end result was very satisfying, and believable image.
