van den hooven study 3

This artwork is a part of a preliminary trial into a new style containing internal human organs. These are the first works performed in colour (several thumbnails were initially sketched out with pencil before this stage). Several of these A5 ‘studies’ were completed on 300gsm Arches watercolour paper and they are now available for sale.

This piece contains a pair of lungs, a brain connected directly to a stomach, part of a large intestine, several eyes, and also a preliminary heart at the bottom left of the page (van den hooven no longer draws hearts this complicated). There is some black texture on the page.
