Goal

The main "character" of this picture are people and light. The canvas was primed in dark blue. The work was started without nature and photographs. From scratch. The dark background "lights up" every stroke. Both brightness and light come not only from red, yellow and light green. All colors appear in the first second, even dark green.
The side sharp light is one of my favorites. This light conveys the volume as clearly as possible, it was often used by Caravaggio.
To finish the work, I had to change the palette knife to thin brushes and take a couple of photos: my son, who scored a goal, and me, who gets up from a puddle.
Of course, this work needs to be done in medium or large format.
