Jenny Saville

Jenny Saville is a contemporary artist, who works with oil paint. She does a lot of work with naked women, exposing their skin underneath their clothes. Although she uses oil paint, there are a lot more reds used within the faces of her paintings.

I am not particularly keen on her work, however I took my own image and used her oil painting idea to develop my primary image.

I used a range of different skin tones to create this effect and I am really pleased with my work. I took an image of myself as a baby from my baby book and I painted it.

The hints of pinks and red within the skin tone links in well with Jenny Saville's work.
