Hopeless

In looking ahead at continuing my oil painting experiments, I thought it may be fun to take inspiration from a Roy Lichtenstein painting such as Hopeless (1963) next. Its selection of colors is very simple, and since it itself reproduces comics artwork, a lot depends on how the dark lines are drawn, how their widths are varied, etc. All in all this should give ample opportunity for practicing with a fine brush. I’ve now prepared a precursor sketch (pencil/paper, 17 x 17 cm).
