Lisa wanted some significant objects to feature in her portrait, so brought a favourite lamp and her grandmother’s woollen blanket to be included in the picture.
Aspects of the colouring in this scene differ from my usual palette, which will be interesting to work with, I think. Similarly, although the composition itself is fairly simple and quiet, arranging furniture in the studio to represent a kind of domestic setting is something I’ve rarely done before, and further adds to the experimental feel of the process.
