Ellas, 64x30” oil on extra-fine portrait linen
DETAIL of Ellas, 64x30” oil on xtra-fine portrait linen, as she looked following today’s work
12:58 PM: today turned out to be a pivotal day for Ellas. yesterday i painted over the female figure at the top and instead added the green leaves of a potted plants. that didn’t work at all, as we both observed when we checked it out this morning.
the green leaves were still fresh, so i was able to rub them out this morning using a solvent, revealing the female figure below, which i refined once i had taken out the greens.
