These large oil paintings have evolved slowly and are three quarters complete with a few more layers of overpainting waiting as I wait for paint to dry.
The underpaintings contain frottage on rice paper rubbed with graphite from rocks at Point Roadknight that combined with thin flowing wash and oil stick application. Textural buildup integrated with splashed and poured paint layers as Ipushed tone and contrasts around the compositions.
Almost dry I am at a circling stage ready to pull the elements into desired effect.
Lovely – such wonderful textures and depth.
