I decided to focus on the face for the first study. I started with the black likes that out line the face and contours. After i stated with yellow ocher and filled in the highlights. Next yellow ocher mixed with blue for the low-lights. This study took about 1-2 hours and is about 8x10.
I found that the face of this man tells so much about his personality. He is obviously aged; balding and wrinkled.
The intricacies of his face alone is an outstanding work of art. The time it must have taken for Picasso to draw, plan and execute this face alone. Even thought the face is about 1/4 of the entire painting, it is the focal point of the piece.
