Portrait of Danni

The portrait of Danni is a painting of a young lady who posed for Gottlieb in 2011. Danni was working in performance art and agreed to pose during some spare time in her schedule. This painting was created over the course of ten visits at Gottlieb’s studio. The sober harmony of tones in this painting are due to the simplicity of colors used in Gottlieb’s palette for the painting. The painting was made in Adrian’s Verdaccio method, (an indirect painting of reds and greens which is subsequently glazed in full color) for the most elegant effect and luminosity.
