Finally getting into painting again after a three week lay off due to going to the USA for IX and then dealing with stuff like my tax accounts when I got back.
I have noticed that the prizewinners in art competitions that have a Fantasy bias are always figurative works and never landscapes so I am moved to see if I can come up with something figurative next. To this end I have decided to paint a picture of Hecate, the Greek goddess of The Underworld and have my usual model Naomi coming over on Thursday for the photographic session for the figure of Hecate. In the meantime I have decided to get on with a small study of how I might approach the background...
This is the initial tonal underpainting which was first blocked in with a rag before I started to use brushes using a mix of Prussian Blue, Phthalocyanine Green and Permanent Orange thinned with Liquin.
Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
