"Calvin"
This head detail is part of a recent head and shoulders painting that will undergo some background changes while the frame is being completed. I also had problems with light reflections from that same background and his dark suit and will have to reshoot.
I shared this detail with an artist friend who wanted some help with the handling of wrinkles on seniors. My portfolio includes examples of this condition and I usually probe the subject's sensitivity to this question.
I also like dramatic lighting and the challenges of the dramatic lights on what is otherwise the shadow side of the face.
