Seurat drawings.

 Georges Seurat is one of my favourite artists. He invented new ways of painting such as pointillism and a method of drawing known as Seurat's halo theory using a range tones to create depth  with black and white and grey.






                      This is Agnes who posed  for a life drawing group I belong to in Cambridge,UK.

SUITE FRANCAISE



This painting is in the style of Monet.I saw the film Suite Francaise yesterday and it reminded me of the shimmering heat of a part of France where I spent a long hot summer many years ago.

VAN GOGH, Starry Night

Vincent Van Gogh suffered from mental illness all his life. His last years were spent in the south of France where the  heat and bright, clear, light influenced his style of painting exaggerated colours and forms.

He did not sell a single painting during his lifetime and now his works fetch millions£.There is hope for us all.

This is my version of a Starry Night.

Do not attempt to sell this one as an original Van Gogh, it is illegal.


                                                                   

                                                           

                                                 This painting is for sale on www.ebay.co.uk (SOLD)

DEGAS Pastel Drawing Style

Degas used pastels for many of his drawings of figures using a multi layered method of applying strokes of colour to achieve skin tones.
