(soft piano music)
<v ->My subject, he is a writer.</v>

2
00:00:04.591 --> 00:00:07.097
He is a big name, very famous writer,

3
00:00:08.025 --> 00:00:12.003
Alex Miller, age 85.

4
00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:17.313
Two time winner, Miles Franklin Prize, literature prize.

5
00:00:19.374 --> 00:00:20.430
He's very famous.

6
00:00:20.430 --> 00:00:25.430
Probably published 17, 18 books.

7
00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:27.453
I've painted him twice,

8
00:00:28.380 --> 00:00:29.530
this is the second one.

9
00:00:30.630 --> 00:00:33.990
I joined the show, it's the first time.

10
00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:35.283
Getting here, I'm happy.

11
00:00:36.900 --> 00:00:39.927
Today, to go his (indistinct) from coming.

12
00:00:42.642 --> 00:00:46.533
For this one, I challenge myself.

13
00:00:48.690 --> 00:00:52.140
My work in the Archibald this year, last year, before.

14
00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:54.363
Five times, Archie 100,

15
00:00:55.455 --> 00:00:57.123
but this one's special.

16
00:00:58.050 --> 00:01:02.373
I use hand, more the face in the shadow.

17
00:01:04.380 --> 00:01:05.520
What's it mean?

18
00:01:05.520 --> 00:01:08.850
Because the writer need's a brain, thinking,

19
00:01:08.850 --> 00:01:10.300
and the writer's use of hand.

20
00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:13.347
So face just in shadow.

21
00:01:14.776 --> 00:01:17.193
Face in shadow more difficult to hand.

22
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:19.673
Every...

23
00:01:22.649 --> 00:01:23.482
Level, level.

24
00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:27.912
Look at all the detail still there.

25
00:01:27.912 --> 00:01:29.253
Very contrast.

26
00:01:30.300 --> 00:01:31.133
You look at the hand,

27
00:01:31.133 --> 00:01:34.200
the finger is smart and the clever,

28
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.600
and lot of experience.

29
00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:37.872
This is my challenge.

30
00:01:37.872 --> 00:01:40.872
