These two paintings were started on a ground of grey undercoat to which I added some blue and white. They were done on different days but the grounding seems to have driven similar styles and colour choices without me being conscious of the fact. I bought a big tin of undercoat so I must try and alter my approach on the next one.
I also must try and get both feet in -I’m always trying to maximise the form and invariably miscalculate.
Other life painting can be found on my a website: grahammcquadefineart.com

The grey and white gives a chalky or pastel-like rendering. I was surprised to read you used acrylic. I think the proportions and physical presence of the subjects compliment your colour choices.
