This painting shows a face half-covered by a hood. The hood is brown and loose, with paint streaks blending into the skin. The eyes are blank white circles, and the skin looks like wet clay—greenish-gray with rough brushstrokes. The background is a flat, pale blue. The paint is thick in some spots, almost like it was scraped on. The face looks unfinished, but that’s the point—it feels raw and alive. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
