  1. This is an oil on canvas portrait created by Andrew Salgado. This portrait contains a variety of hues, values and intensities which make this a polychromatic portrait. The overall texture of the portrait is very unique due to the overlaying brush strokes with many different colors. Being painted on canvas, this portrait takes on a 2-dimensional form with limiting space between the face and the background. However, the use of contrast between dark and light colors add shape to the individual facial features and make certain features such as the nose and jawline pop out to the viewer.
