“Face It” is an acrylic work centered on an elongated face and neck set against a turquoise background. Deep brown tones shape the face, while small light marks across the cheeks, highlights along the nose, and the strongly defined eyes bring detail and expression to the figure.
I brought this portrait to life with the face almost entirely isolated from its surroundings, allowing the expression and direct gaze to carry the work. The elongated proportions and subtle markings give the figure an individual presence without tying it to a particular place or moment.
