Although I enjoyed my previous brusho project, my personal study prompted me to develop my skill in oil painting and to move away from such abstract pieces. However I still wanted to keep some of my original concept, just increase the subtlety of it. Therefore I chose the same image as before and although I didn't copy the symbols of my brusho piece into this, I kept the presence of yellow. I was happy with piece as I felt I was able to create realistic shading on the face through prominent brushstrokes and a varied palette - I used a range of browns, yellows and blues. However my inexperience meant the eyes lacked realism due to bright white creating an overwhelming contrast between the eyes and the rest of the image.
