Folasade (honor earns a crown), 5x7in, heavy watercolor paper, acrylic gouache.

Took a break from painting the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art commission today and worked on this 5x7in piece. I’m very happy with how this piece came out. The reference model is Zanele Muholi, an amazing photographer, who often captures unapologetic self-portraits.

Original painting coming from my desire to finish a 4x6in work everyday of 2022. 6/365
