Jeanette's hands as she makes a sweater with slip-stitch knitting. She's looking at a chart she made from graph paper to get the pattern right. Gouache.
We're heading to Lightbox Expo in Los Angeles, and I'll be doing a book signing at Stuart NG's booth on Friday from 4-5pm.

ReplyDeleteI enjoy your wonderful blog and videos. It's always fun to read and I feel I learn a lot especially by watching how you approach each painting.
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant painting (as always)! What I particularly like about your painting is the viewing angle of the hands and knitting - the same as the knitters. Perhaps you were looking over her shoulder?
I made four paintings of knitting hands myself last winter as a way of practising painting hands and because I'm fascinated by "busy hands" and the complexities of the pose. Interesting compositions are made by the angles of the knitting needles.
