This is my second final piece from the Portraiture Project inspired by Russ Mills. This is very different from my first final piece as I wanted to try a new style. Originally, this image was going to be in the style of Stina Persson who I have researched before however the artist Russ Mills does similar work that I was inspired to try. For this image I used a portrait of Lina and made it completely black and white by increasing the threshold. I picked this image because I liked how she is looking off into the distance and also the detail in her face and hand. I then added a background and texture to make the image look older and more distressed. I then tried to recreate the brush strokes Mills uses on photoshop and using dark colours to match his style. However, I also included lighter colours around the face so the detail would not be lost and to make juxtaposition in the image. I love how the colours brighten the entire image up and how you have to look closely to find the subject.
