This was a very fast painting working on foreshortening again and taking the figure as a whole rather than little sections…. So, working in thick rough brushstrokes and creating highlights by wiping away traces of paint (which is why I had to work very very fast) The result is a particularly textured and 3d effect that I am rather proud of…. The title is pretty obvious but I chose red hair because the color would work particularly well (blonde not so much and dark would be too dark) I also chose it because the pose seems to have some unbridled sexuality and red hair is frequently considered a sexual and passionate color.
