Oil and oil and cold wax
h: 70 w: 113 d: 4 (cms).
I began by painting the canvas a base of warm pink acrylic, onto which I mapped out the main lines and shapes with dark purple oil and cold wax, focussing on tonal value and contrast. Over this framework I worked loosely and boldly with oil pigment bars, focussing on free mark-making and pattern, in the knowledge that most of this layer would be hidden by future layers, but that elements would be retained and revealed. Onto this base I applied oil and cold wax, in masked off bands and geometric shapes, giving the painting structure and a definite form, but endeavouring to retain some of those earlier loose marks. As I built up the layers I constantly scratched back to reveal earlier layers, also providing textural interest. I applied the paint with a mixture of palette knives, silicon tools, brushes and rollers.
£2600 (As exhibited.)
