Mixed-Media Oil, 152×92×3cm
Background:
While I was painting this painting I kept thinking “safety in numbers” for some reason, so I decided to name it that. I think it came from that saying, it takes a village to raise a child, because of the conversations that I was having with friends and family at the time. It’s a reminder to those of us who try to do it all alone that it’s okay to lean on our friends, they are our village, and we are theirs.
Process:
It painted in several layers, starting with soft pastels to achieve an interesting visual texture, followed by a layer of crackle paste to give the painting a feeling of dry heat, iridescent acrylic paint for an elegant shimmer, and finished by a layer of rich oil paint, which gives the piece a sense of depth.
Materials:
The thick wooden frame is hand-built and mounted by a quality Italian Caravaggio canvas.
