eviered_lilymaemartinAround two years ago, I went to Dr Sketchy’s in Berlin and tonight I went to one in Melbourne! It was lots of fun, people were really nice and excited to be there.

eviered_lilymaemartin_twoEvie Red was an absolute pro – she took on some difficult poses and her performance was a lot of fun.

eviered_lilymaemartin_threeI wasn’t prepared to show works to win a prize by the end -but I did and I won a very cheeky book 😉

This was so much fun, I look forward to doing it again!

New painting

33weeks_lmmartin
I just finished a new painting – 33 weeks. This painting is oil on board, I did it very differently to how I have previously painted and enjoyed it immensely.

I’ve posted some of the developmental sketches and the beginnings of this painting: here.

What is different about this is it is from life and from memory. I did a sitting with the model and developed most of this painting with the sketches and my memory from that sitting. I took some photos for a buffer – but I in no way relied on the photographs like I have in previous works.
