15x11 gouache on Saunders 300 lb paper, another version of Michelangelo's sculpture of David he created 1501-1504. I cut a failed painting in half and applied gouache over the background as well as the figure first. I'll show the beginning ink sketch below. A few years ago I bought Susan Boyle's Christmas CD that she'd recorded Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, the story of King David's temptation with Bathsheba. So the lyrics were dancing in my head throughout this work, hence the significance of the upside down modern day houses.
In this image, only the figure has been painted using Turner's gouache. I'd like to keep the house windows and may paint over the rest.
Initial ink sketch using black India ink dropper only over the upside down old dog watercolor. Total time: 2 hours.
