A different female model in Life Painting. All these poses are tricky to get right – crossed legs, folded arms, cushions and drapery. I drew her first in white chalk on black sugar paper and then painted. Which was interesting – the paper (which is about the cheapest rough and ready) randomly absorbed the paint giving a stripy/blotchy effect which I quite liked. It took ages to get the feet right, ie one foot flat on the ground, the other in mid-air.
One of my paintings has been accepted for exhibition at the Pound Arts Centre in Corsham. I’m pleased, especially as it is one I like and is in a different style - the title emerged while I was playing with the paint and the image suddenly looked a bit retro.
