Study of colours

Last week I joined a women's art group which meets at Marrickville. It starts at 6:30pm on Friday nights and the others were mainly potters. The convenor Lisa used to run workshops but this term she was too busy and opted for a looser arrangement. I was the only painter last week.


This small painting was chosen as a starting point to see how the group went. I spotted this bather as she emerged from the rockpool at Wylies. The contrast between the sea water and the rockpool caught my eye. As the group is all about coiling and pinching pots, I thought that I should try this as well. But rather than making pots I think I'll try to make a torso of a big breasted woman next week.
