Subject
, executed in a single sitting. Thick, fresh impasto strokes with loaded bristle marks and occasional palette-knife accents; fluid wet blends and broken color; spontaneous, gestural execution. Composition: three-quarter view, medium-close framing, off-center focal point on the rule of thirds; edges lost and found; background simplified with broad, wet scumbles. Lighting: Mood Lighting; clear key light modeling forms, soft reflected light, wet sheen catching highlights. Color: Color Scheme; restrained neutrals to let accents sing; balanced warm-cool temperatures. Surface and finish: oil on linen with visible canvas tooth, rich paint body, slight ridging and scraped passages; painterly yet coherent forms; selective detail in the focal area, atmospheric softness elsewhere, crisp where knife-laid. Overall mood: immediate, lively, confident mark-making.
