[WIP] You take my breath away

from £24.00

I painted "You Take Me Breath Away" to portray an intimate, charged moment between two figures. Working in a monochrome palette helped me focus on touch and form; the feather was added as a fragile counterpoint to the intensity. I built layered texture and deliberate brushwork to bring out the hair, skin, and the grip at the shoulders. The breath between the two so fine as to be barely visible but bearing 3D form bringing motion and life in the breath.

moulding paste, resin and acrylic on wooden board

  • “Affectionate, sensual, deeply emotive painting.”

  • “The contrast of blues with white on the black background”

  • “I love the use of different textures”
