This painting was all about that thin ray of light hitting his head. I recently did a painting with knights in plate mail in warm sunlight and I wanted to capture that light in this painting. I also had fun designing the character and his armor. I was trying to be much looser with my marks, but I ended up tightening up as I painted. Something to work on. I did achieve some interesting shapes in the armor, especially on his arms with simple brushstrokes and without thinking too much about the outcome. In the end, I really like this guy - he slays me!
