Water soluble crayons and water. 24 x 49 cm
Often I imagine what
the model is thinking or saying and that becomes the title, as it has
here. Did you look at “Nude a day 22 Arm on Red bar”? I used
these water soluble crayon blocks, called “Aqua Brique” for the
first time on that painting, and I've used them here for the second
time. They were very different from anything I have used before. I
marked the paper with the block . There was an explosion of colour as
I touched the marks with water, a wonderful volcanic eruption of art.
On this picture I used
subtlety (you WHAT!!??) and moments later I ran parts of the picture
under a gentle stream of tap water. I enjoy these sorts of
adventures. The colours are very crude. Enjoy, (especially my
granddaughter Natasha and my niece Sophie who like coloured nudes.)
