The focus of this painting was just to experiment with texture. The subject matter was more secondary. I just found some face I could do a quick sketch of just as a vehicle. I wasn't really going for accuracy and I didn't use the reference while I was painting.
I painted this on a piece of heavy bristol paper. So the surface was a very smooth texture. I started by drawing the picture on with heavey charcoal.
I used a little pit of red pastel and white charcoal.
I started with a layer of loose watercolor and then built up the texture around it. I wanted to make sure that the highest point of contrast was the focal point.
I used a lot of spattering and smudging in order to add texture.
