Blue Boy Painting

This was a commissioned portrait. I was really excited about how clean the color looked in the original photo, so I worked hard to maintain absolute simplicity with the blues. I used Cerulean for the lighter blue, and Ultramarine for the dark. I also used Cerulean in the flesh, and contrasted this with Ultramarine in the background. I often like a little more painterly application of paint, but the tight focus of the photo, and the clear blue in the boys eyes demanded a tighter execution, I felt.
