About This Work

I leisurely observed this figure and recorded the elements I needed to memory in order to make this painting. As with some other references for my artworks, this took place at the ‘Gloucester Goes Retro’ UK festival. This observation and photographing is done surreptitiously and helps to avoid the recipient going into ‘photo mode’, or sometimes ‘irritated mode’. This man had an interesting face and posture, his tiredness was devoid of body inclining. The fatigue was all manifested in the face. Painted on Bella Arte canvas panel. The work consists of a Rowney Cryla acrylic base coat of burnt orange, then opaque pigments are used to lay down the undercoating of some of the subject matter. Subsequently using acrylic paint in washes which has been thinned using diluted Liquidex airbrush medium. This layering of the work allows for subtle tonal attributes that give depth and intensity. The overall result is an acrylic painting with a degree of luminosity rather than the usual flat acrylic finish. Finished with a coat of Winsor & Newton Satin UV varnish, this not only protects the painting but has a unifying effect. A suggested frame width of at least 60mm for this 40x50cm painting. This makes for the best visual effect and prevents warping.
