Marilyn
They say that Marilyn Monroe was found dead in the nude, and I'm sure that a light went out in many a man's eye on hearing that news on the day of August 5th 1962. Marilyn is still a hugely popular subject for artists the world over, and this is my interpretation of her based on a video still.

The original image was black and white, and I drew the image eye to hand first marking out all the shadow areas working from a cross hair in the centre of the paper. Using just cobalt blue, I built up the image layer by layer until I was sure that it was unsafe to go any further!

This was great fun to do.
