workshop

Really enjoyed my workshop , great group of artists , exhausting on both sides .
Iennie the model having very white vest marks !

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.

My Studio is at last almost finished! apart from the woodburner, sink , kitchen and some plumbing to be done .
