Talking to Josie McCoy

Josie is a British artist who paints realistic portraits of
fictional characters from the world of film, television and
music.


 She usually works from Photographs taken from the film or
television screen. In doing so she uses oil paint like watercolor
to build up the paintings in thin layers of very diluted paint.
That makes the surface of the paintings glow in an imitation of
the cinema screen.


 Josie won several prizes and her works are present in
important collections.
