Embrace the light, is made with oil on canvas paper, Daley & Rowney acid free paper, 150lbs. Glued onto board and framed. All hanging hardware included.
The portrait has a thick impasto painted surface with scrumbling in the painting, which reveals the form of wrinkles in the brow and on the cheek bones and shows the texture of the hair. Scrumbling shows the weave and brings out the texture of the canvas. Inspired by Lucian Freud’s Reflection self- portrait. The idea is to build layers on top of each other to create luminosity to the painting.
