Michael Painting

The color palette of this portrait is darker than I normally work due to the dark background, most of the face being in shadow and the dark complexion of the model. The model's head is backlit (meaning that rather than the light shining onto his face, the light is shining from behind him) which essentially is the same as looking at the dark side of the moon and only see a small crescent moon. The beautiful rim light we see outlining the left side of his head in white is the same effect we see in a narrow crescent moon. While the moon is a simple orb, creating a simple crescent, with a head we enjoy light dancing over the nooks and crannies of the eye socket, cheek, nose mouth, chin and neck.
