I carried on with my large paintings on paper, 5 at the same time. I worked on top of the pink foreground I’d blocked out with a Dioxazine Purple wash, sketching in faces and bodies of women and girls, in threes, triples. It’s a very basic starting point. I’m working entirely from my imagination, no reference to real life at all.
I’m using Somerset paper (300 gsm, 56 x 76 cms) prepared with a coat of acrylic gesso. The paint is Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic and the brushes are Daler Rowney Gold Taklon.

OOohhh that’s so spooky!
What jolly girls they are! I wonder what their stories are – and I wonder who they will be when you finish!
That’s a very interesting way of approaching it, I’ve never done anything like this before, I’ve always worked with the person in front from me. Hmmmm
Exciting though! It could be a short story – the artist who paints/draws imagined people and then they appear in real life – sinister, ghostly, comical? Maybe they complain about the way they have been portrayed!! 😀
