I was at IMMA with Dublin Sketchers recently. I wasn't feeling confident enough to tackle the façade or the inner courtyard, so I decided to take a stroll down the garden and found these two statues that beckoned me. I painted them in negative space. One worked out better than the other, so I'll know for again to avoid trying to paint the face!! I had fun with pigments from Daniel Smith - Lavender, Moonglow, Green Apatite Genuine and Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, amongst others.
Then it got cold again, and I went for a stroll inside the museum - some good stuff, some strange stuff too.
And I couldn't resist my Ulysses quote: 'Cold statues: quiet there. Safe in a minute.'
