Life Art


Torn Plunge Jumpsuit was painted in June 2019 in acrylic on to a base drawing using coloured pens. Image is 1000 by 1200 and displayed reduced (50%). The leaves and background was for simplicity. The original photograph included other people.



This is an example of painting for too long to try and get smooth transition modelling effects. Unfortunately the photograph does not show this so well. At several points the paint was so thick and wet it could have collapsed in on itself. See a stage earlier, where in the end her left breast was too long and her left elbow had become stylised away from the drawing and needed correction.




Somehow the drawing was better. I am always reluctant to try again, but I did and the result is here. But I may do because I must find a way of painting smooth transitions wothout piling on paint over several days with few benefits.
