Another out-of-the-blue day that I actually drew during ape lesson (shhh!) The first piece is a practice on wet-in-wet. I was hoping to achieve the same effect shown in this video (from 03:00 onwards) but I guess there's still a long way to go...

The second and third pieces are both portrait practices based on photographs. The first portrait shows a pair of eyes spacing out and is dramatic in its choice of colour. Patches of blue and beige at the right hand side of this work are representational of the state of contemplation in contrast to the purple-peach skin surface. 27 June 2012

In the second portrait, the subject is looking away from the viewer and showing a much lighter, dream-like colour scheme - pink, violet, orange, blue, turquoise, olive, and purple. The high transparency of the hair adds on to its illusionary and unsubstantial impression. Illusions can suppress fears and reality, but they will ultimately collide with the truth, against which they are dashed to pieces. Even so, I am glad to have found the unspoken part of me.
Thanks for reading!
