I’m obsessed with large scale formates and the challenges that come with defining where the focal points will be, getting the viewer to take a closer look.
I’ve started with the texture base of acrylic, mediums and large brush work before proceeding with oils and oil mediums.
Using a large pallet knife ladened with white oil, cold wax and galyyd gel to add textural elements and further reduce the the color elements of under painting. I wanted to push areas to the exterior and upwards with section in the center exposed.
Oils sticks have been rubbed, draw over details that I wanted to keep and make pop forward.
Some areas have been brushed over with white oil stick to highlight groove and brush strokes.
I’ve repeat the layering and process to further minimize and to create breaks in the work.
I’ve rub cold wax medium as a finish and buffed slightly, give a Matt finish.

If used poly pro 4 times primed canvas which is ideal for warmer climates.
