Eleanor Moreton



This work is very interesting, the washed out colours and yet the ability to create suggestions of three dimentional tone, with such flat marks. I really like the technique used to create these pieces. This is an example of her work that isn't portraiture, just to show Moreton's variety of works. Below is a portrait of which is my preference, I've always been attracted to portraiture more than anything else, it's what I like to do and it's what I like to see. The face is something I am particularly interested in, it's an unknown attraction that I'm more than happy to accommodate.



I love how thick and brazen the usage of brush strokes and stippling is in this piece. The strokes and thickness of the paint alone give this piece depth, without the need for exaggerated realistic portraiture.
