Joao Ruas Portrait

Portrait of fellow brazilian artist Joao Ruas - www.feral-kid.com.

I worked using memory and small online photo of his in one of his show openings.
My idea was to interact with his face in a very aggressive and personal way. This was the first time I tried a portrait like this.

Palette used:

• cobalt blue
• alizarin crimson
• cadmium lemon
• burnt umber
• raw umber
• ultramarine blue
• burnt sienna
• titanium white
