Jacqui wistful

As an experiment I took one of my life drawings to class to translate to a painting. The brief was to convey the wistful mood of the model as she looks out the window. I wanted a high contrast between light from the window and the gloom of the room.


The result was not entirely satisfactory as it looked like a monochromatic painting. I hesitate to put flesh coloured highlights and as I've been frantic at work, I've done nothing more to it. My classmate Tony offered to buy it as he wants to pass it off as his own to his wife!
