Practice Shadow Portraits

Black acrylic on watercolor paper. 30" X 22"
Goal was to practice painting and analyze shadows through direct observation, in preparation for a life-sized full body portrait. Had difficulties working life-sized as this was larger than what I've been comfortable with.

Black ink on Stonehenge. 30" X 22"

A symbol of breaking free from what is holding me back, and reaching out to fulfill my goals. There are many difficulties I face such as time and bad habits and sometimes I struggle to keep on top of them. The radial pattern of the hands were intended to fade as it reached out and could be improved. Finer details could also be an improvement.
