Standing Figure
Untitled (Standing Figure) – 8x10 Oil on Canvas Panel SOLD
This figure painting is a fun and exciting piece for me. I completed it during one of my figure painting classes with Danni Dawson, she pushed me to see and interpret the different colors on this beautiful woman. With this painting, I treated the female as a whole being, rounded and with volume, then to push the painting more towards a modernist feeling I flattened the background. I feel it makes the figure more dynamic and while also creating an environment that only she belongs in.
Thanks, Liz

The skin colors bring this painting to life.
Carol, thanks for the compliment! The skin tones are what I enjoy so much in this painting as well! Liz
