About this portrait :
I painted this old dervish earlier this year. It had been a while since I had done my last grisaille portrait, and its always an excellent learning experience. My limited palette contained black, white, yellow ocher and burnt sienna.
I had a few photo references for this model: all low-quality with uninteresting backgrounds, so I extended the wavy beard wisps into the background to give it a mystical air.
