New Painting Technique

This is something quite different for me.Drawings of this costume have been scattered around my studio since they were completed a few years ago.I was fascinated by the lineal mark and flow of colour. Finally I used these drawings to create the painting here using watercolour pencil and a little paint on yupo. The upper part of the painting was kept dry and so has a hard line but I used water in the lower section to soften the fabric and give it more movement.A very satisfying project.

THE CARNIVALE IS OVER
