Yan Pei-Ming, "Mao" (Ch. Ver. #6), 2001, oil on canvas Pei-Ming's work is known for its large scale and thick, heavy, brush strokes. I admire the loose application of paint and Pei-Ming's ability to accurately portray an individual without precise detailed rendering. Pei-Ming and I share the subject matter of portraiture on a large scale. I want to incorporate more texture into my work with the use of more paint and medium. However, I do want to vary my brush size and stroke slightly more than Pei-Ming. I do not want to paint in a monochrome pallet as Pei-Ming does, but I do want to lesson the "rainbow" effect that often occurs in my work.
