Torso In 2 Colours, acrylic on cribbed panel, 30" x 40"
As I have said previously, I am also a figurative artist; 2D and 3D. This painting was an exercise in using complimentary colours- only two colours were used (plus white): sap green and quinacridone red, sometimes out of the tube, and sometimes mixed to achieve varying neutrals. I used a glazing technique of laying one colour over the other in layers, often mixed with clear acrylic medium.
On my easel now is a self portrait which will be numbered, as suggested, #101. Will share when complete!
