Pastel on paper
This work is based on a selfie taken on the way to the Courtauld Gallery on a very hot day in July. The picture was taken on the train, with Vincent van Gogh’s selfportrait in mind. In the gallery, I returned to the Van Gogh again, sat down, looked and thought for a while.
In the ensuing weeks I have practised sketching myself using a mirror and other images and reviewed again the work of Rachel Jones with this submission as my result.
