Paule Vézelay (Marjorie Watson-Williams)
oil on canvas, circa 1927-1929
Margery Watson-Williams in Bristol in 1892, studying art in her home town she went to the Slade in 1911.
Above is an image painted by her and its whole aura attracted me to it. Looking at the piece to me it gives the sense of elegance and lady like style. The colours used represent a woman to me, the fine detail of the shadows in the piece gives the whole artwork attention from its viewers. The reason in which I chose it was because I find this style of art very interesting, its the kind to inspire my thoughts. Below I have sketched the artwork as I wanted to concentrate on the fine detail of light hitting the figure.
Overall I enjoyed looking at many different artists who concentrate on the detail of portraits, it has inspired me and bought me closer to appreciating fine detail of work throughout artists creations.
