Back in June 2014 I did a couple of pastels on the isolation of the individual. I was never happy with the outcome. These first two took a high viewpoint and recently when playing around I decided that a low angle might be more effective. But it wasnt plain sailing, as I found the detail I required was difficult in pastel.
So I changed to acrylic and am happier with the result. Though it may not be the final resolution, I feel I have made progress – and that is all that one can hope for, I guess. I may even revisit the first two paintings I did and see if acrylics would also suit them.
Other figurative paintings are available for sale on my website: grahammcquadefineart.com

Thanks Francisco, It sounds like it is tough in Spain. Stay healthy. It may be we dont get it as bad as you – but who’s to say. I’ll just keep my head down and paint. All the best – Graham.
