"James" Original Painting #elvis #elvispresley #elvispresleypainting #elvispresleyportraitOil on Canvas, 24x36 This is a portrait of the incomparable James Brown. I used a combination of texture paste, acrylics, clay shaping tools, scraping tools, and multiple oil washes to achieve the unique look of this piece.

Hand-signed by artist

Visual interest is created through the use of contrast between her white hair and the black background

The man in black

After it dried

Or by another's hand

I applied a coat of acrylics for the basic values and then painted layers of oil glazes over it

I used a combination of texture paste

I use a dark oil wash over the entire painting and then scrape away part of that layer to reveal highlights and emphasize shadows

Her regrets

Her rescue

and multiple oil washes to achieve the unique look of this piece

the mother of humanity
