Description

**ORIGINAL PAINTING NOW SOLD**

Having been challenged to produce a piece of work to match a specific interior I Initially blocked-in my main background colour field in black and applied this with deep and dark undiluted acrylic paint working loose and rapid with rollers onto a stretched and fully primed quality fine grain canvas.

I then began to set my composition using areas of shades and tints of my main colour grey- to create balance in the piece.

Next with my music loud and soft box lighting bright I begin to create movement and emotion, blending wet paints with bespoke rollers (which I have developed over the years), now infusing the work with my own style, feelings and techniques. Allowing emotion to take over and begin to dictate the direction, I add layer upon layer of colour to build up the emotive atmosphere. including liquid silver leaf paint.

Here I have also used cloth to remove and reveal the coloured layers, alongside methods where I have added pure paint straight from the tube neat to the canvas.
I employ the use of various mediums throughout each work � from textures, flows or glosses through to subtle hints of iridescent.

The final details of highlights and shadow of this piece were blended delicately with a customised tool to increase the paintings depth.
