huile sur toile :
As in the other pictures in this gallery, the whole of the model’s body is not shown. It was important in this case, though, to include the top of the head in order to show the voluptuous fall of the hair, resulting in a rather decorous covering of the nipples. Although this is not something I would normally do, as it’s corny, it seems to work in this picture. And with that look in the eyes she certainly could cause any driver to crash. With the head tilted slightly downwards, the partly parted lips, plus what Raymond Chandler would have referred to as her “up-from-under” look, there isn’t much doubt as to what she might be able to get you to do for her. Whatever the invitation, it is enhanced by the partly unbuttoned jeans.

In this depiction there is a background: she is clearly sitting on the floor in a room where a breeze is blowing in through an open window on to a diaphanous curtain. I have tried to keep the backdrop as lightweight as possible, in order for it not to compete with the model: the colours are pale, while those of the model are much richer. The shape generated by the billowing of the curtain compliments the form of the pose, as do the range of colours overall. Looking closely at the treatment of the arms and the hair, for instance, you will see that the painting technique tends towards a dry-brush, scumbling approach, thus underpinning my insistence that a painting must look like a painting. Again, the adoption of this technique was effectively dictated by the picture itself, as it gradually started to emerge from the canvas.

Andy HUDSON, British artist living in France, and a painter for 60 years, I received my formal education at an art college in England in the 1960s.  I have now been permanently resident in France for 20 years.

These days all my painting is done in oil on canvas, although in the past I also worked in gouache on watercolour paper.  Subject-matter mainly covers portraits and back views (vue de dos) of women, but also landscapes, some of which are of industrial and/or urban subjects.  I continue to do life study, this mainly in pencil on high-quality cartridge paper.

Over the years I have organised groups of painters to go out "en plein air" and confront subject-matter directly:  also to direct classes in life study.  From time-to-time I have been invited to give presentations on various aspects of painting to schoolchildren and to adult art groups, both in England and in France.

Some years ago I provided a number of articles on drawing and painting portraits for the British art magazine Leisure Painter.

The En Plein Air group has not existed for many years now (June 2023, as I write), but I run 2 other groups of artists:  my own painting group - Les Artistes de l'Atelier Violet-Bleu - meetings once a week in a studio in the Cloisters in La Rochefoucauld.  I also run a life class that meets once every 3 weeks at a studio near Feuillade.


Profile: Andy Hudson, artist - painter - portraitist - author
Born Andrew Leonard Hudson in Chatham, Kent in 1946, I spent my youth in Kent and the bulk of my adult life in Wiltshire. After grammar school I trained as an artist then at a college of education, where I met the woman who was to become my wife. Unable to secure a teaching post on leaving college, I found work in the computer industry, where I remained for over twenty years till made redundant during the downturn of the early 1990s: then when desperate for work, in various call centres, before ending up in the vehicle leasing business.

During all this time I continued to paint and to hold one-man shows as well as participating in a number of prestige events with fellow artists at, among other venues, the Royal West of England Academy, Bristol, and the Mall Galleries in London. I have come late in life to the business of writing, and the gestation of my book on painting, “The ham-fisted artist, or How not to paint”, was long and arduous. “Memoir of a moment in time”, was my first novel, and was written under the pseudonym Xavier Andyl, as are my short stories. I have various other projects in hand, including a series of essays on the work of other artists, looking at their work through eyes different from those of the conventional critic.

Now divorced and living alone in the Nouvelle Aquitaine (formerly Poitou-Charentes) region of France, I have three adult children and a grandson.

A painter for 60 years, I have exhibited extensively both with art groups and in one-man shows, and have works in collections in Britain, France, Holland, Canada, the USA and Australia.
