Portrait of Kevinby ~alifann

Traditional Art / Paintings / Portraits

My friend Kevin sat for me, took about 2 hours before I finished this. I really wanted to capture his pale skin and the look in his eyes. I painted him as a priest first as a joke, but later found out it gave the painting a different feel to it, so I kept it. OOOH so conceptual of me.

Just felt like painting something different, not just pretty girls.

I really really love this...! If you don't mind me asking, what are the colors you usually use in your palette? I love how cool it feels but then all those little bits of warm and pure bits of color just subtly reveal themselves and I'm left completely blown away!

In my painting class they recommend flake white, ivory black, yellow ochre and cad red light as a starting point for painting skin (with a burnt umber underpainting), but I don't know how you would be able to achieve such a cool palette... *0*

Also, I really love the look in his eyes! His eye color is really pretty too *0* Lol at the priest joke, but yeah I can't imagine having the same feeling if he was wearing a different shirt xD
