Painting Wet into Wet.

Vogue Series 10

The strange look and pose of the model along with the color composition of this picture caught my eye.


Painting over a badly done self portrait I’m trying a different approach this time, so I loaded up the canvas with Yellow Ochre oil paint and painted wet into wet. I’m looking for thick ,lush ,sloppy brush strokes.

After blocking in the general colors I started to tighten up the painting a little.

 I’ve taken it as far as I want to go with it for now so I’ll let it dry and think about my next move. I’ll come back with fresh eyes and fix a few things I’m not happy with.
