whatever you're on - got enough to share?
sounds like that painting has some pretty amazing qualities if it can open a hole in the night, transdimensional perhaps?

Craig Everett ๐ฌ๐ง Rourke Van Dal โข Urban Artist, by Rourke on Sept 5, 2009 15:24:07 GMT 1, Hello
These are my most recent Paintings, hopefully you can see how doing the abstracts is helping develop the Style further. The first one, I have a few minor details to finish. Havent fully decided on the title of the peice, so for now I am going to call it 'Ophelia'. Because at the time I was painting the peice, I was really into the Pre-Raphaelite's series and decumentarys on the tele, I researched into them quite alot, and the whole thing fascinated me, and totally was a massive inspiration into doing the actual painting.
Another reason is that all conventional painting techniques are 'out of the window' in these peices. On the 'Ophelia' peice, I first started making up the image with bits of Newspaper headlines, magazine cuttings, building them up and spraying them with spraypaint for a bit of colour. I eventially lost most of them, when I started to paint the picture, but some of them are still on it if you look carefully. Then instead of using the brush flat as your suposed to, I used it on its side in a wiggling motion very gentle, so it just catches the texture, the wooden bit of the brush is more or less paralell with the canvas. Doing this over and over again using a number of different colours in the key areas. Slowly build up the depth in the peice. I think if you look at it very carefully, it does give the overall look of the picture a very different appearance. I have been doing this for quite a while now in my paintings but want to keep developing it.
any comments and thoughts most welcome Cheers,
Anyway here it is 'Ophelia' Acrylic, Goache, Spraypaint on Canvas, size: 30" x 24" Prints available soon
I did this one before I did the one above

Dont like all of your images (my fault) but your talent is great! a great role model for many people who call themselves artists..

Craig Everett ๐ฌ๐ง Rourke Van Dal โข Urban Artist, by Rourke on Sept 30, 2009 20:19:00 GMT 1, Hello
Am busy working on loads of new work with a pallette knife, never used one before, and loving every minute of it. Want to progress the style before I show the finished work. Trying to combine alot of the techniques I have been working on over the last couple of years.
Here are a few of the images in there earliest form, painted scteches if you like. Really liked the look of them at this stage, and was interested what you guys think.
Cheers
