At the studio today, finishing off the Auerbach study in watercolour and water soluble crayon. looking at the study of the munch painting from yesterday and thinking about a Ensor painting I want to copy. just stretched a square canvas, primed, it should be ready tomorrow for painting. tinking about skulls. below is also a finished work in watercolour and oil on linen.
untitled as of yet, this is the water colour and oil on linen I finished the other day
the Auerbach study in watercolour and water soluble crayons to the right of the frame, to the far left my study of the Munch painting. I’m tempted to do a bigger version after munch, incorporating more of my own techniques.
I love the munch painting. the floor is almost eating the child up, she is sinking and everything around her/them is screaming. in my version I just decided to amplify these, especially the floor and the eyes, which almost look like buttons sewn on in my picture.
