Still life on Jean


The half-term exercise was to paint an object/objects in an unexpected location/surroundings. The example given was a clock on the beach.

The inspiration for this came from a piece called "Scylla" by Ithell Colquhoun in the Tate Modern. That shows the artists legs in the bath, but looks like the sea with two rocky headlands. Jean agreed to be my muse for this. The finished piece is 16" by 12" on Arches 300gsm NOT paper.

Feedback from Wet Canvas has been good, particularly about the fruit. Let's hope it goes down well at class tomorrow.
