Here's another oil painting demonstration. I really enjoy painting old time hockey and baseball players. Their faces reveal so much. Most of them grew up poor. Semi-pro or professional sports was their way out of poverty. This piece was started and completed in-class this past year for one of my courses at RIT. My references are all B & W. The color comes from experience and research into historical team uniforms. This 12 x 24 painting depicts a 1920's era Boston Bruin defense man in his brown and mustard yellow sweater.
