My artwork has many many layers.
They take a lot of time, but are a lot of fun to make.
I always think progression is fun to look at...
so, here is the progression of a painting.
I start out with a textured canvas this one has stucco and gesso on it.
I textured it several days before.
Starting the sketch
Blending the oil pastels with my fingers..
Finished Piece!
"What Happens In Fall"
Another "Tree-Girl", shedding her leaves in the wind.
Mixed Media, on canvas, 16x20.
The original, as well as prints are now available in the shop.
that looks so hard! good job!

ReplyDeleteYears ago I had a little art-supplies shop and so I had the possibility to use a lot of stuff I was selling...
I remeber I was in love with stucco&gesso and I was used to use it everywhere... ;)
I don't use pencils since years, but this reminds me nice moments...
Your post makes my hands quiver :)
Thank you for sharing...
Have a bright day Rachael
I love your paintings, and I think the layered, textured quality are my favorite things about them. I think layering things in art makes it feel more human.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a painter but I do have a deep appreciation for any creative process.

For textured paintings have you ever added flour to your paint? I have a painter friend that suggested that to me one time. I thought it was really neat.
