Ben

A painting of my brother Ben.
I have always painted skin colour a greenish sort of colour. At a young age I was tested whether I was colour blind or not, the results stated that I was colour blind. 
This was the first painting which I had done in quite a while. I had to research how to make skin tones on the Internet before I could paint his skin. Rather than being an off green colour he looks more reddish with purple shadow tones.
Maybe I should have left my eyes to judge what is skin tone, this was I would have created something original and unique. But for my first attempt to paint portraits in a long time I want to create a similarity to the photograph I was referencing to.
