Experimenting further with life drawing

With this painting I decided to paint one of my class mates. I chose him as he had certain features that interested me such as dread locks and a broad body. Using my fingers but mainly a spatula I created this piece of art work using acrylic paint. During the creation of my work I included my own abstract style to it and made it completely different to my other life drawings as I did this to experiment into more detail with life drawing as I feel using pencil and basic materials bore me and encourage me to produce something much more colourful and bolder. I could improve it by having more accuracy on the head and the facial features but the main area of my work that I am pleased with is the colours I have chosen, I feel they link well together and are suited to the style of person I painted. I will continue doing this work and going beyond the basic criteria as this will develop my ideas in more detail and increase the techniques with in my work.
