A Painting A Day: A building of layers and a study of density, form and movement led to this unique palette knife painting. The first layer was a blocked out sketch in charcoal. The second was the use of Golden Acrylic paint, using black in the dark area, a violet blue in mid tones and a soft yellow in the light areas. After allowing that to dry.. then out comes the palette knife with incredibly soft buttery Holbein Duo Oils. The intensity builds on the surface of the canvas as the layers begin to build and color begins to form dimensionally. Color teases and plays with the brain as the eye is drawn into the composition.
