Asya: copy of Schiele

Egon Schiele was a painter from Austria who unfortunately died young, and produced art in the early 1900s. He studied under Klimpt. This is a reproduction of one of his self-portraits, titled "Self- Portrait, Screaming". I was very taken by the intense expression on the artist's face and his silent scream. I could not decide whether the scream appeared genuine, but it did not look like one of terror. I also really like the edgy, brutal brush strokes surrounding the figure and framing the face.

I would like to color the jacket later, probably with ink, because it is not dark enough.
