Your Number One

This was another exercise in speed painting. The initial painting below took 20 minutes, however once I uploaded it I decided it needed warming up a bit, so I spent another 5 minutes on it, adding more warm tones.

medium: acrylic on canvas textured paper

size: 40.6cm x 50.8cm (16” x 20”)

Marita McVeigh

Lee Wilde replied

Thanks Marita. Yes, give it a try, you may surprise yourself.
Estelle O'Brien

Wow!
Lee Wilde replied

Now that’s the reaction you want to get :-)) Thanks Estelle.

I kinda like the cooler one you have in your description more, and that’s the one u spent 20 mins on right? And this one, you spent 5 more mins on? I like this idea of speed painting. Let’s you relax and just let go. :)
Lee Wilde replied

Thanks for your feedback, Rayven. I’m really enjoying these speed-painting exercises…..recommend to everyone to give it a try.

I love this, the colors and sense of oneness
Lee Wilde replied

Thanks Mundy :-)

like them both, great in time spent, for me the blurred out faces work better in kool tones, corroborating unrevealed identity.
Lee Wilde replied

Thanks for your comment. I was influenced by the music….wanted to achieve a sense of oneness (as Mundy mentioned above)...hence went warmer to create a more intimate feeling.

Thanks chickeebabe :-)
Katya Silkova

love your technique with the faces!
very clever!
Lee Wilde replied

Thanks Katya. I’ve spent most of my life drawing and painting faces….studying faces….so with these faceless figures…..it is literally driving me CRAZY not to give them faces!!!! And the fact that so many people are responding positively to the faceless aspect…..has given me pause for thought.

Thank you for your feedback :-)

I like this one Lee, lots of your work reminds me of Gauguin
Lee Wilde replied

Thank you Josh. I’ll take that! :-)

It amazes me at what you produce in such a short time span with your speed painting. I also very much agree with katya. I see their faces when I look at the artwork as a whole. There is a very definite and clear expression for both of them. Maybe it’s the colors and the slight hint of feature placement you give. I dunno, but it works. One of these prints is def going to be on a wall in our home soon.
