Original artwork description:

Oil painting on Fabriano paper with new modern technique "Oil Dry Brush". Photo reference David Stribbling.
The painting was done with "Oil Dry Brush" technique. Oil dry brush is a painting technique in which a paint brush is relatively dry, but still holds paint, is used. The very thin layer of color is applied to a paper. Dry brush is layer upon layer and reworking with an eraser at this point it is possible to incorporate different lighting effects and details. Images painted with a dry brush appears very similar to a photo.
