Prompt

A contemporary oil portrait of a young person in a red hooded coat, painted wet into wet with broad loaded brush strokes that stay visibly separate. Edges lost and found so the shoulder dissolves into the background, deliberately wrong colour in the shadows with green and violet in the skin, thick paint catching light where it stands proud of the canvas. Abstract up close, resolving into a face at a distance. Muted background of the same palette.
