Today, Bruce worked a lot with red. As you can see, there is a lot of it in the background of the transfigured woman: mixed transparent red oxide, venetian red, cadmium hue deep and a little mars red. He also worked on drybrushing the edges of the woman’s hair and dress (she’s becoming a spirit at this point in the film, so she needs to dissolve into the background). It appears as though the roses will need several more washes and we seem to be running out of black. Look at that texture. Worth it? Totally.
When the paintings are finished, they will be showing (along with Vive La Rose) at the Christina Parker Gallery, in conjunction with the Nickel Film Festival and the 15th biannual Sound Symposium.
