New Year, new canvas..., by Replete on Jan 6, 2009 20:01:35 GMT 1, First off a happy new year to you all and hope the 09 finds you and yours well.
Thought I'd show you a new canvas I just finished.
It's entitled "Locus Terminus" and is 24x36" painted in acrylcis and spraypaint and features a lot of the face built up with layers of collaged canvas to add depth and texture.
Like a lot of my portrait I'm trying to get a sinister brooding element contrasted with an feeling of dark beauty.
Cheers,
R
P.S it's already sold to a fellow UK graf writer so I'm not trying to sell anything just thought I'd show it and get some feedback

Do you ever go over the edges when doing your portrait work*? Have you painted on deeper edged canvas?

New Year, new canvas..., by Replete on Jan 7, 2009 20:20:08 GMT 1, Ta SW and I took that side shot before I painted the edges but it was just a flat shade of orange. Sometimes I do continue the design onto the side but that usually is only on my lettering canvases as should be the case on the Twisted piece you own.
I have painted on deeper canvases but I always use prestretched box canvases so painting a design round edges is a lot of work for not much added to the overall effect as the image is meant to be viewed straight on rather than at an angle.
But I've got some ideas I'm playing with to add an extra dimension to pieces by playing around with the angles.
