The Naked Silo

22" x 15", watercolour, 2016 It's unlikely that this one will get translated into a larger oil painting in the new year, unlike #1 , which has the superior composition. Sketch. Kimwun detail. Below is the third video I streamed live while painting this painting (and #1 ). I don't quite finish either painting in this video, but significant progress was made...

15" x 22", watercolour, 2016 Sketches. It's possible some of these 13 recent watercolours, including this one (seeing as it was originally intended as an oil and noted in the sketch as a possible watercolour (secondary mission: accomplished!)), will see life as larger oil paintings in the new year. I find the addition of the background in the watercolour far more interesting than the blank void of the sketch, so that might be carried over. Denim detail. I forgot how much I like painting jeans in watercolours until this latest round of pictures (4 of the 13 have people wearing jeans). Form description detail. Jeans are fun, but I liked the softness of the track pants here, showing the cylindrical nature of that thigh...and that faint colour reflection of the chair is nice, too.
