As part of Ardith Goodwin's Land of Ardithian Color - Color Class, one of our assignments was to paint a quick piece that conveys the emotion of disturbed.
I took a bit more time with my effort starting with a substrate that had random paint marks on it, then sketched an outline over it (see second photo). The finished effort is the man in blue below. The whites of his eyes are the actual background pattern/color of the paper I started with and left the way it was--because the eyes appear intense and striking that way.
The blues in the piece were achieved with the use of Phthalo Turquoise (as in the nose) and dark violet (mixed with the turquoise for the skin color + grey).
The buzz cut for the hair was challenging to do with a paint brush, but works. Another problem was my paint dried (developed a skin) far too quickly. So, color mixing had to be done over and over again as this was coming together. Aside from that--overall, I really like how this turned out. The image has a quality of 'perturbed' that is a synonym for disturbed.
