This is the first time I try oils and the second work I made using colors (first I used pastels). It was fun to do and to discover the feel of using something else but graphite. There is a lot to learn about oils, but I’ll definitely try it again.
Browsing through the internet, I found the Laurie Lipton’s web site. A great graphite artist, one of those artists you fall in love with at first sight of her work.. I was really shocked by the high quality of the drawings, by the techniques, details and imagination. You might also be shocked by the theme of the most drawings, but I found them genial approaches. A perfect Angelina Jolie portrait? No way. A point of view, a conception or a relief of an imaginary world. This is what Laurie’s work is.
