Detail
Sailors On The Nilewas inspired by photos shared by an Instagram friend. London based interior designer & artist Gavin Houghton posted images from a holiday in Egypt, including a series taken on the deck of a Nile cruise vessel. With a few changes, I based the painting on some of the beautiful, dynamic photos taken by Gavin. I reached out to him with the request of using his images. Thankfully, Gavin is an art lover, and was delighted at the prospect.
This is the rare occasion when I have no access to painting the model from life, nor can I even photograph and pose them myself. However, the scene Gavin captured had such painting potential that I couldn't resist giving it a shot.
