Sunburn
6 x 8” Oil on Canvas
Sunburn, part of the collection “The Back”, explores themes of vulnerability and change.
Sketches exploring the relation between the back and vulnerability.
I started with a wash in Burnt Siena to give the background a warm tone.
The next step was mapping out the highlights. I built the back from shading and the blue water surrounding it.
Then I proceeded to add more detail and smooth out some of the highlights.
Finally, I added some darker shading and brighter highlights to add dimension and depth.
