Maribel

“Maribel” is an original, signed acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped canvas by artist Michael Arnold.
The subject is my daughter in law who won a pageant in her home country of the Philippines. The photo I used as reference was of her in her costume after winning. This painting was created using only burnt sienna and a touch of pthalo blue to darken the hair. I layered the burnt sienna over and over again to build up the darker tones and create depth. The lightest colors in the painting were accomplished using a single layer and the darker tones have up to fifteen thin layers of paint.
