Big form studies


As the title says, these little oil studies have only the big forms of the head; no detail and no small forms. Comparable to a basic clay sculpture before finishing details are added... no irises, eyelashes, eyebrows, or nostrils, and simplified forms in the hair.

Oil on canvas. 5.3 x 6 in.
