Blast From The Past - Utada Hikaru 3

"Utada Hikaru 3"
Completed: 2004
oil on canvas

This was a quick oil study I painted in my college painting class. I had been trying to create portraits that were realistic, but they were ending up very stiff. My professor told me to use a bigger brush and to loosen up my technique. Although the proportions were a bit off and it wasn't photorealism, I think this study allowed me to relax a little while painting and actually enjoy the process of it. Thanks for taking the time to take a look!
