Began adding the figures and objects to the backgorund, which I just about managed to complete last week.
I need to remember to apply the things in the foreground so they blend in with the background, so they don’t look to imposing or harsh against the subtler background. It’s more the objects themselves that I want to sit uneasily within the painting, but I dont want the way the paint is applied to imply this.
As I was sorting out the composition, i noticed the clock is hung on the wall behind Jean’s head. Funny, that.
I think I pot plant will need some more work to look as over grown and out-of-place as it does in the original photo.
The hats are just blocks of colour which I need to work into tomorrow. Also the left, textured wall could look richer, i rec.
Another hot one.
Still having problem getting pictures up. Will try and upload but might have to start taking them wiht digital camera rather than phone.
