Jeune homme aux cheveux bouclés no. 3 - Young man with curly hair no. 3

 This painting was made as a birthday gift to someone I was dating. I quite like the briefness of the brushstrokes, but I really did have trouble with the colors at first, since the reference was quite dark and the lighting wasn’t ideal. To be fair, the photo was a casual one, I was the one who liked it. It’s made on an unbraced birch plywood panel of 8 inches by 10 inches, primed with oil ground.
