San Vigilio - Sargent / Mosleh Collaboration

Guache on paper. 10.5 inches x 14.5 inches.

The work in process can be find here: https://youtu.be/kN-ukThzA38 in case it is chosen for critique.

The same two paintings that are used in the demo are used here mostly as an exercise for composition rather than brushwork. With hopes that my artistic license is not revoked due to excessive abuse.

The Gorilla is painted on a cabinet door. I took the photo in a zoo and immediately after I realized I have contributed to his situation by buying the ticket. The painting was my way of dealing with guilt.

Comment by Daryoosh on February 26, 2017 at 1:32: Thans Diana for your kind comments. Most of it is with a chipo brand but when I needed more pigment, I used my precious Holbine. My first trial with it came out OK but since I used the combination of some images on the web and I am not sure if it is different enough from the original, I can't post it. But it is more convenient than oil but I still prefer oil for more serious work.

Comment by Candi Hogan on February 26, 2017 at 0:27: Daryoosh, checked out your website...LOVE your gorilla!!! Very moving, and that hand!

Comment by Diana King on February 25, 2017 at 22:45: This is very strong and exciting Daryoosh. I am amazed that it is in gouache - I must get mine out again|

Comment by Daryoosh on February 25, 2017 at 14:16: Thank you Lisa for your kind remarks. That was the idea. I have seen some beautiful lighting in that time if the day and wanted to see if I could fake it here. Your encouragement helps me stick with it and get better. I am blocking forward to see more of your work.

Comment by Lisa Pagaza on February 25, 2017 at 13:33: Wow! Definitely different and gorgeous! I love the strength of your colors... they are so vocal! It looks like it is captured in that very small moment of the day when you still have the warm colors of the sunset, but they start lingering with the cool colors of night! Very, very interesting! Thank you for sharing!

Comment by Pauline Le Merle on February 25, 2017 at 8:22: This is beautifully fantastical Daryoosh, i really like it!

Comment by Daryoosh on February 24, 2017 at 13:42: Thanks Cristina. I was not sure if it is too different but shaking it up seems to be a requirement out there these days. Being good is something art market could live without as long as it is different. I went to New York with such high expectations and came out disapointed, feeling like everyone else gets something I don't.
