New Work: Portrait Study in Blue 3.03.23

Detail of Portrait Study in Blue 3.03.23, Artist: Andrew Binder, 2023

This study features a monochromatic figure, painted in blue tones, expressionless, with features that seem to shift and dissolve. For the last couple of years or so, I've been doing a lot of "studies" where I've been experimenting with different methods of combining digital painting with traditional elements within my artistic process. Lately I've been hitting upon a workflow and method that is allowing me to more accurately achieve what is in my head. There is something about this "fracturing" that (to me, at least) is evocative of so many different things.
