The Subject
This is an oil study for my Ghost Study series.
What is a Study?
A study is a drawing or painting made to get your head around a subject matter in preparation for a larger work, focusing on part of an image, such as an eye or a nose, or the whole thing. A study can also be a way to practice techniques that will be used in future works (not specifically the image used to practice).
So, I made Ghost Study 4 to practice ghostly blurring techniques for my Haunted Portraits series.
