Sixteen portraits of Derek Kosbab by Derek Kosbab 2009-2010
I paint in my study at home. The study is on the first floor with a window facing south towards Port Phillip Bay. When I paint I use disposable plastic picnic plates as a palette. When I have finished painting I wash-clean my brushes in the bathroom. Usually, there is some paint unused on the plastic palette. So, I take the unused paint, still-wet brushes and a 300mm x 300mm canvas into the bathroom, and using the bathroom mirror use the unused paint to quickly paint a portrait of myself using the available colours.
Because there are sixteen separate portraits—so far—they can be arranged in any order. On the next page I have made a new arrangement.
