Finished the first coat of oils on the ten drawings on
Wednesday, then had to have a couple of days break, I was fair knackered. Even
managed a second coat on one, that’s 11 in four days. Should be all downhill
from here, now that the basics are mapped out.
“It's the
Environment, Stupid”
Restrained colouration for the moment.
“The Artist's Camp at
Bimblebox”
That’s Shayna working centre right.
“The Point”
Next coats will probably be uniform glazes.
“The Mechanics of
Survival”
“The Great Divide”
Decided to change the name on this one. That is the
Great Dividing Range in the background.
“Scarification”
Clouds need a bit of work.
“Paola's a Bit Long
in the Face”
The portraits look a bit scary at the moment, decided to use
cold underpainting for the flesh. Reduced the chin a fraction.
“Magellanic Mirage”
“The Camp Workshop”
Structure emerging with the addition of colour.
“Ian Manages
Diversity, Fertility, Productivity”
Ian as a zombie. Hopefully it’ll all make sense after the
next coat.

ReplyDeleteI think you should keep it. It's irony; your stock- in- trade.
This is the best series of paintings I've seen for a long time, really good delicate use of light and shade. Beautiful work.
