So, the power went out at my house and with no internet to waste my time on.. I decided to paint something. But my house is empty of any interesting objects, except for this full wall mirror. My phone was dead so I couldnt even play some music. It was an interesting experience, studying my face for hours in complete silence. I taped the paper on the mirror and started sketching. A game of thrones poster I remembered, slightly influenced the direction I took with the lighting, they used blue light for shadows and yellow for lights, so I tried to build my face with only minimal use of blue and yellow and let the colour of the paper do the rest. I also crushed some pastel with a sheet of acetofan to create texture contrast with the background. I thought the posters were brilliant and tried to bring that idea into my pastel painting.
I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks!
