Back Off

I sketched and painted back of the head views today, and then finished up with this one incorporating the back view and the hands theme. A real beezer of complexity, this one, which I made even more difficult for myself with my choice of brush.

I used a Daler-Rowney XL Filbert brush, size 50. It’s a big brush, especially on an A3 page. I had a lot of fun with gestural paint smears, which is about all you can do when you set yourself up with this kind of challenge.

This one is probably going to appear again, because it’s definitely the kind of interesting pose I can enjoy more than once.

Til the morn,

Suzanne
