So this is my first portrait that I've been working on over the last couple of weeks. There have only been two painting sessions but as soon as the rain lets up.... This is one panel of over 40 8x4 foot panels commissioned by the Student Center of San Jose State. The Student Center is being re-designed over the next couple of years and the panels were initially blue. The Dirty Brushes, Pictorial Art club wanted to participate in creating a more interesting 'blue wall' in which the community and student body would be able to learn about the 'Masters of Painting'. The whole spectrum of artists was chosen by the Art History student body and ranges through all periods of history. My 'Master Painter' is Jean-Etienne Liotard, a Swiss-French painter (1702-1789). He was a very versatile artist, he is famous for his pastels, paintings, enamels, copperplate engravings, and glass painting. I like this guy because he is inspiration for me to stick to multiple mediums instead of just one.
