Saxophone Player Portrait

This is a tutorial on a very complex figurative piece of artwork by artist Vinita Pappas. The painting is a portrait of a saxophone player. The artist begins by creating a loose and abstract background around the figure. The artist uses her planning sketch and a reference photo as guidelines. She approaches the painting by building up several layers for each section, keeping in mind the values. The artist wants to demonstrate how relaxed you can be even when painting something complex and challenging.
