Oil wash drawing of Robert Fortunato

This is an oil wash drawing of a regular model to the New Jersey art scene. I wanted to make a quality painting but only had a couple of sittings with him. Instead of going into full color I thought it would be more effective to make a wash drawing and add just a little white at the end to add a little coolness to the otherwise very warm palette. The 12 x 24 size is one of my favorites as well as the red I used in the painting- transparent oxide red. It looks good on its own and requires very little mixing.
