Evening Peter
Lovely work on another giant piece
Lovely colours on the palette too.
Unusual subject and well recognised sculptor!
Is this the last of the Giants?
Any luck finding more on the interweb?
Should be better painting in the more usual British summer?
Have fun finding the next victim
Perhaps back to the 1/10 busts?
Hopefully the eyes will get ""sorted"" soon too
Regards
Steve H

Mobo - Many thanks.

Steve - Hi. This is actually 200mm, roughly 1/9, so a drop in scale from the last few. The drop in temperature has certainly helped - impossible to paint at 40 degrees, or do anything for that matter. My next effort will be a 1/5 bust, then back down to 200mm.

Stunning work Peter. Your bust work never fails to impress. How have you been coping with the hairy sticks during this heatwave??

 

[Peter Day]

Good to hear from you Steve and glad you like this bloke. The hot weather has been challenging certainly - quite a few days where the paint was drying too quickly.
