The evolution of Jason’s style over the last few months has to be seen to be believed. This detailed, textural piece is a prime example of what constant practise can do! The features of Jason’s subject are much more realistic than in previous works and there are some well-observed touches such as the ruddy colour around the nose and the subtle treatment of the dark, windblown hair. I particularly like the colour harmony of this piece; the contrast between duck egg blue and peachy brown shades is wonderfully complementary and works well with the somewhat battered antique effect that Jason has applied, calling to mind World War II pilots or 1950s adventurers. The textural contrast between the leather and sheepskin on the jacket is nicely painted too.
