So Ben is a friend of Kevin's who saw the project and agreed to be a part of it.
And I am very glad he did.
First off, once again I forgot to take a before picture which is disappointing. I really need to remember to do that.
However, one of the most exciting things about this particular canvas is that Ben is number 50.
Yes. I have now officially done 50 separate canvases. Each more difficult than the last. I've grown. The project has grown. What started as an idea and a very confused expression from Wes has grown into this with momentum still going strong.
So needless to say I was very excited working with Ben. I couldn't have asked for a better canvas. He was friendly and from the moment he entered my apartment, we were both at ease and enjoying the experience. Plus he chose Tina Turner. That made my day.
Ben was surprisingly enjoyable to paint. I ended up creating patterns on him that I hadn't made before. His face ended up with solid line work which is a style I haven't experimented with too much yet which ended up being a pleasant surprise. The back piece featured a giant spiral that was outlined in Celtic designs. His arms were a teal and pink mix of Aztec patterns followed by a chest piece that looked like armor.
So of course we choose a picture that features him as a pose from the side.
Awe well, I'm still very happy with the end product!
