The results are maybe a little more finished looking to some degree than the other small pieces I've been doing, particularly the rather warm looking orange piece which features the return of Emm's oversized wool cardigan complete with 'Watchmen' badge. the original orange basecoat can be seen in the 'halo' and behind much of the other details.
The blue piece, which looks by comparison rather cold is completely different. It's less stylised and probably the closest to realism I've come in any of these Emma pieces so far - So the two combined kind of showcase both sides of my work I guess. The stylised Expressionist side, and the lesser showy side which is all about being precise and which I dip into much less. . .
Anyway. Enjoy.
Coming soon, an all singing, all dancing, all Puffin blog. Okay, there may not be singing and dancing, but there will be puffins. . .
These are really good!
ReplyDeleteI like them both but I love the second one - The colours and tones.
You're definitely hitting your stride now. I like them together as well. :)
Lovely! I like these more than the black and white ones, you should do more colour pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love the second one too. I love the way you do creases and folds in fabric. I like the first one too, the wings seem to glow, but I'm just not fond of the colour orange.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the colorful ones as well.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I like orange! The colors in her face and hair (and the brightness/contrast) look fantastic. The hard, detailed lines you used in both but only in certain places are a really nice touch. These are like a combination of both sides of your work - painted in the same way you do black & white, but you've added a shock or hint of color. They look great.
