Plan

The plan for my piece is to try to incorporate some of Jenny Saville's painting style into my work.  I want to layer a lot of paint and make seemingly abstract marks come together to make something recognizable.  I'm painting the portraits of my two brothers and myself.  Saville has a piece in which she paints three bodies, yet they look attached.  Where one body stops, another starts.  I want to do this with the three faces, not separating them with space between the heads.  I like this idea and I've seen it before and I've always wanted to try something like it.
