Acrylic on canvas.17x13x1"Tranquil Waters is a very "calm" painting that has a lot of depth to it and an amazing range of blues. The texture and atmospheric effect is very captivating. It comes framed with a white wood contemporary frame. Texture and light are two key elements in my work, as I aim to blur the line between painting and sculpture, inviting touch. The textured layers, are mainly created using a palette knife, laying them down thick and thin, scraping them, allowing some parts to come through. I also use multiple thin veils/layers of colour which are overlapped to create colour-fields and luminosity. It is the combination of the overlaying process that creates a highly textured and luminous final image. To achieve the patina, look in my paintings I use metallic paint and metal foils to achieve more luminosity.
