Experiment

Angela Reclined (2013)
Oil on canvas

Even though I've been doing a lot of work at the Cincinnati Art Club lately, I decided to take a Figure Painting class at the Art Academy of Cincinnati for a different perspective. For this two session pose, the Instructor, Matt Wright, suggested that we spend the first class using only black and white, and not adding color until the second session. The result is, in my opinion, one of the best paintings I've done recently. Trying something different and getting out of your comfort zone can sometimes yield great results.
