Description
I cheated a little with this picture....not in the figure but in the name. This woman was not from Bengal at all. The reason for choosing this name was altogether different. For years as an 'apprentice' artist, I would try to stick to the rules of painting, keeping within the lines, and trying to have a limited palette of colours so as to have an integrated and harmonious painting. But all that changed when I went to India! There was a colour in my paintbox called Bengal Rose...a deep, intense pink colour. I really wanted to be able to use this colour more in my paintings, and I got that opportunity in real life when I started painting Indian women.
