Reculé, Henri - 1 Original colour drawing - Cassio - Ornella - hommage à Emmanuelle - 2018

Ornella - homage to Emmanuele
Oil on Schoeller plateau 600g rigid.
This is a tribute to Emmanuelle, notably the famous poster with Emmanuelle on the wicker chair.
The homage here is primarily in the pose and clothing. The treatment of colors and the surroundings, decor, etc., are more related to the character Ornella and her profession as an archaeologist in the series Cassio.

Made with oil, the illustration is varnished and can be framed without glass. This allows for a better appreciation of the texture of the painting and the impasto of certain brushstrokes.
For me, that's the whole point of oil.
It is one of the few nude illustrations I have been able to create.
