41) Lucian Freud

Painting. Lucian Freud. 2009

Acrylic on board.

Lucian Freud has a special technique of painting, he used very heavy brush strokes and a great combination of colors to portray the human body.

We were supposed to copy Lucian Freud's piece to learn his technique and get used to working with several colors when we paint the human body (we had a lot of models coming in for us to pain, so the teacher wanted us to see the colors in a different way, sometimes even exaggerating a little bit). The first one is the original painting of Lucian Freud, and the second one is my attempt to copy his painting.

I don't remember the name of his painting and i can't find it on the web either to show you, but either way this painting was supposed to be a copy of his work. I never finished the piece because there was a lot more i could have done, but maybe one day i will.
