Two pistols, pink jacket
A MershNoir study. A man in a pink jacket over a striped shirt stands square to the viewer with a pistol held in each hand, cigarette going, one arm raised against a black ground.
A plain standing portrait, centred and cropped at the knees, with the black laid in tight around the contour so the jacket cuts its own shape out of the dark. The raised arm breaks the top edge.
Coral and salmon in the jacket against teal and black stripes in the shirt, over a solid black ground. The restricted palette is doing the work of a light source.
Flat washes over ink inside a hard brushed black, with the stripes drawn rather than painted. Very little modelling anywhere — the drawing is a silhouette problem.
