Out of Office Painting

Water has always fascinated me and I wanted to create a piece of artwork that would be reminiscent of those gloriously sunny, summer holidays where all your cares melt away. The model was just stood in the pool soaking up the sun and hopefully the observer can share her sense of happiness and complete relaxation. Creating photorealistic paintings and drawings is my favourite challenge. I used liquin with the oil paint to allow me to blend the paints to help me create the final image. It's amazing to see how skin tones change when under water and this painting clearly demonstrates this with half of the body being submerged. The painting is shown framed but is being sold unframed.
