#325 "#2 Tea Study"

I sometimes like to do smaller studies for figurative pieces to work out the kinks and potential problems for a piece before getting into the larger finished version. This is just one of those little studies. I wanted to see what my face would look like almost completely cast in shadow from the above lighting, and also what severe horizontal line across the upper third would be like in the composition. I liked the overall feel of the piece and imagine the finished one will have a similar feel, but maybe with a bit more breathing room around the figure.
