tweaks to ano kato museum” / bather at yialia beach / by Philip Tarlow

i made a few tweaks to ano kato museum just now, which has allowed the entire composition to sing. i worked mostly on the left portion of the composition, painting over the boring architectural details and allowing the painting to breathe, as well as giving space to the collaged elements i introduced yesterday. the touch of red in the shoulder bag the figure on the left is carrying, which seemingly minor, is critical.

12:36 PM: bather at yialia beach, 18.5x28 cm. watercolor on arches paper. this was painted last month. it’s available for purchase; email me if you’re interested: tarlowart@gmail.com.
