sketch
BASED ON WHAT I’VE LEARNED FROM YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND HISTORY- I HUNT, GATHER, AND RESEARCH OBJECTS, HISTORIC ART SYMBOLISM, MYTHOLOGY, AND CLASSICAL CULTURAL REFERENCES TO CREATE A PERSONALIZED STILL LIFE SKETCH
LINEN AND BONES
EACH PAINTING IS MADE WITH BELGIAN LINEN STRETCHED BY HAND, PRIMED & SANDED. ENSURING ITS LONGEVITY. WORKING IN THE TRADITIONAL PAINTING TECHNIQUES OF THE “OLD MASTERS” I BEGIN WITH A MONOCHROME UNDERPAINTING- “THE BONES”- THEN SLOWLY I ADD LAYERS AND LAYERS OF TRANSLUCENT OIL COLOR TO GIVE THE PIECE A RICH & LUMINOUS PALETTE.
