Buffalo Headdress Painting

Create a restrained painted portrait of an elderly chief in a white mask-like face paint, feather headdress, and fur garments on a warm neutral ground.

About this style

The composition is centered and spare, letting the ceremonial face paint, feather plume, and layered garments carry the image. Muted earth tones and visible brushwork give it a hand-painted, symbolic quality rather than a photographic look.
