Bravura
A young woman in a dark bodice, caught in warm dusk light with confident wet-into-wet strokes placed once and left alone.
How this was made
This piece began with a photograph and a written instruction. Both are kept, so the record is complete rather than flattering.
THE PROMPT AND THE SETTINGS
PROMPT
POSITIVE: Repaint this photograph as a John Singer Sargent oil portrait, c. 1900. Three-quarter-length portrait of a young adult woman, fully clothed in a dark brown sleeveless bodice and pale trousers, standing with one hand on her hip, head tilted, smiling; entirely non-sexual, dignified society-portrait framing, modest and decorous. Bravura wet-into-wet oil handling: skin in creamy pearl whites, warm ochres and cool grey half-tones laid in with confident strokes placed once and left alone; the dark bodice described in a few broad loaded sweeps; long dark hair suggested with sweeping strokes rather than strand by strand. Warm dusk light on the face and shoulders. Background dissolved into loose atmospheric dark green, olive and warm brown foliage. Keep her natural open smile. Elegant, luminous, virtuoso economical brushwork, visible canvas weave, aged varnish, museum old-master finish. NEGATIVE: (none)
