A painting in progress
Love the anticipation of the first stroke!
Blocking in the initial shape and the colour that I want hints of to come through later
Putting in some background colour
Starting to build up the texture and the black, so that some of it shows through later
Adding more black and more texture. Using a palette knife to add some of the texture
Texture detail
Adding pale gold and rich gold all over
Adding rose gold as well. Using a dry brushing technique made with many short and quick brushstrokes, so that the colour and texture underneath show through
Many more layers added to keep building up the texture and richness
Final texture detail. Many subtleties now and nuances of colour. Much more texture and interest. Light will hit the golds and the texture
The finished piece!
Added black for more definition as not enough black was coming through from underneath. This has added structure and definition. Pictured in its proud new home
