The Weight of Wool
The same figure moved indoors to a bare studio wall, the heavy wool coat painted for its sag and bulk in ridged impasto.
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 as a Lucian Freud oil painting, c. 1990. A standing full-length figure of a young adult woman, fully clothed in a heavy camel wool coat over dark trousers, holding a clear umbrella; strictly non-sexual, sober studio portrait, no nudity. Remove the street entirely and set her against a plain bare grey-brown studio wall and bare floorboards, in cold flat north-facing daylight. Paint the coat and the visible skin of the face and hands in thick loaded Cremnitz white impasto worked with hog-hair brushes so the paint carries real physical weight and ridged texture; flesh modelled from chalky greys, ochres, mauve, dull olive and muted pink rather than even tone. Unsparing forensic observation of the sag and bulk of the wool, the weight of the body, the set of the jaw. Sombre muted palette, no atmosphere or weather, heavy stillness, unflattering realism. NEGATIVE: (none)
