Gilda

Back to Hog's hair,thicker paint, but with some mongoose for the thinner darker values. Looks more like my usual style !

Rebecca 16 x 12

After seeing some great work from an excellent crop of contemporary American artists I tried a different approach.Using mongoose brushes, which are a little stiffer than sable,
I painted thinner than normal , simplifying the tonal values little more than usual,and using colour instead to model forms.Something I have never really done before.

It certainly has given me food for thought.

Demo 20 x 16

I started this demo Thursday and finished it off yesterday . It was of a French model,
Félicie, that I used a while back.I started it to show Iain Vellacott, my approach to
painting.
It is good to see how much he has improved over the past year, in his
figurework especially.
