Peter says the painting is different to what he envisaged. He’s thinking in abstract terms – the red blind behind Ken, the gold of the desk, the grey window. There’s a lot of technical stuff on the desk which he’s suggesting rather than detailing. He’s only got two hours and two paintings to do!
He’s using an oil based medium and a range of brush sizes… the big one you’ll see soon is used to soften the painting.
He’s just told Ken Judge “You’re a wriggler! The biggest wriggler of the lot.” He wants Ken to fold his arms and point his finger. Jon has a great fist says Peter.
I asked the boys what they thought… Glenn would like a little less “gut” if possible and Jon reckons Peter has his eyebrow down pat (and wants me to send him a photo of the finished painting – so he must be happy).
Peter’s just picked up his palette and has started doing faces so I’m going to race in again to get some photos… back soon. Remember to go to the WEBCAM to see the painting come to life as you watch.
