Study of Geoff Hogan for 'Stomp'

Study of Geoff Hogan

Drawing a value study allows me  to simlify my tones and stops me from cluttering the final painting with detail.

I am still thinking of doing a larger oil painting of the Morris men. This study shows me that I am still getting bogged down in the local colour of things and not 'designing' the look.

Eynsham morris on the first day of dance in the morning when they are fresh and sober. I usually paint in watercolour and then ink but this time I have reversed the order. I wanted to explore the lighting of this scene and as a result this drawing has taken me HOURS! I may try out the colours I plan in Photoshop first as I am trying colours outside my comfort zone.
