Forensic
The same sitter under cold north-facing studio light, her flesh built in thick Cremnitz white impasto with unsparing attention to the bone beneath.
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 Lucian Freud oil portrait, c. 1990. Three-quarter-length seated study of a young adult woman, fully clothed in a plain dark brown sleeveless top and pale trousers; strictly non-sexual, no nudity, sober clothed studio portrait, modest framing. Replace the warm outdoor dusk with cold flat north-facing studio daylight and a plain neutral grey-brown studio wall behind. Flesh of the face, shoulders and arms built in thick loaded Cremnitz white impasto worked with hog-hair brushes so the paint has real ridged physical weight; skin modelled from chalky greys, ochres, mauve, dull olive and muted pink rather than smooth even tone. Unsparing forensic observation of the bone at the shoulder and clavicle and the set of the jaw. Dark hair in dry matted heavily worked strokes. Expression quieter and more watchful than a broad smile. Sombre, weighty, unflattering realism. NEGATIVE: (none)
