Commission – Homage to Joan Miro (third stage)

This stage has been about glazes and very lightly rubbing them over impasto scumbled areas.

One third across the earth coloured surface and I have a slightly glowing bruised brown made from a mixture of burnt sienna, raw sienna and Pilbara red that are mainly transparent colours. Raw sienna modified the colours that cast to an orange tinge.

Close up of section of glaze.

Gradually covering the area.

Fully covered. I still think it needs more depth so when dry, I will lightly sand and apply another glaze. Likewise l think the sky needs more glow, however without all objects in the composition that will be rendered in a flat graphic manner it is a tricky process because those contrasts alter the way glazed textures look. Out in the winter sun drying before the next layer.
