Strange faces, a series of paintings I did late 2018. The paintings are A3 in size except the black and white one which is spread across two A3 pages. I got the idea for these when I was looking at some work by Pablo Picasso. I wanted the paintings to be simple and in a style I can call my own, that’s why the figures mouths look like razor blades and the noses are crooked. I thought acrylic would be the best way to go when painting these because it meant I could paint the faces then outline them with thick heavy black brush strokes. The background had to be coloured so I found the nicest blue I could find and applied it with a small sponge roller.
