Getting back into watecolours, they don't take up to much space in my room and are unpredictable.

Also I like the dreamy scenes that can be created and rustic.

Blue and red pencil sketch on vanilla paper, I like doing these to break up my style and keep my portraiture skills up, it looks easy.

Rough sketch before bed, started off as a usual figure then added dimension and a unusual peeling of a sphere, maybe a stylized view of a ball...not sure.

Finished painting, purposely didn't fill in all the sections.
This is the last of the Mannequin series, 4 of 4.
If my scanner was bigger I could of captured all the wood around the figure, which gives it space. I'll frame it and take a photo later. 260mmx350mm. Painted on Japanese White ash.

The Three top paintings from the Mannequin Series


Pictures and Pictures, originally uploaded by Paul Ikin.

The three in the white frames are currently in the air... or truck, over Australia to Perth where they will be shown in the Over Growth 2 Exhibition curated by Creepy. I have the last of the series drying in my room, would have been good to send all 4, but for now their sort of a triptych. I'll miss these ones too. Sometimes its good when paintings don't sell.
