Merlin Carpenters paintings are what stood out to me the most in the way that they only use two colours to produce a painting that looks like the person they were recreating. The way the paint is used and it makes the lines not as harsh and so the have a soft kind of feeling to them has influenced me and how I think about using paint to create faces without it being realism and how little colour you need to get what you want across in your art.
