The purpose of this project is to create a group of paintings/portraits of two close friends, using the medium of oil bars on gessoed paper. This medium will be explained in the text of the paper. The paintings were an attempt to describe aspects of personality that I see in my friends, their own personal struggles and victories. I observed these changes first hand. I told the story of these changes, as they evolved, in the paintings.The six paintings explore the naturalistic style which is new for me. It will open other avenues of visual expression. It was necessary for me to spend time in research and study of other contemporary artists who have worked with the figure and portraits. The study of other artists is an artistic discipline that helped me clarify, in my own mind, the purpose and problem-solving that took place in the course of my study. / Department of Art
