‘A’ has one of the most sought after torso’s in life modelling. He was the first model I drew at the Mary Ward Centre.
This was the last pose of the night. 30 minutes. A few days later some work was made on the background. ‘Icarus’ might well be the title if it is exhibited.
Here’s a close up of his famous ribcage.
For some reason this image doesn’t photograph very well. I’m calling this ‘Aerial freed’, he looks reflective and tired. 30 minutes, with some work at home.
Here it is again, photographed indoors. The Japanese ink I mixed in with the background colour is very sensitive to light.
An artwork from last week of Ms T, which I’ve added some more colour.
I love the colours on the model’s body in that first painting. Really effective.
Thank you. Greens make a good base for skin.
