I suspect like most figurative artists I find drawing and painting the human form wholly embedded with human behaviour.

About this Artwork

While visiting Hampton Court Palace and its gardens the swans presented themselves for my admiration. I have painted this majestic bird before, but their elegance and beauty always deserves another painting.

The rolled canvas board work consists of a Rowney Cryla acrylic base coat of burnt orange, then opaque pigments are used to lay down the undercoating of some of the subject matter. Subsequently using acrylic paint in washes which has been thinned on the fly using diluted Liquidex airbrush medium. This layering of the work allows for subtle tonal attributes that give depth and intensity. The overall result is an acrylic painting with a degree of luminosity rather than the usual flat acrylic finish.

Finished with a coat of Winsor & Newton Satin UV varnish, this not only protects the painting but has a unifying effect.  A suggested frame width of at least 50mm for this 254x305mm (10"x12") painting. This makes for the best visual effect and prevents warping.
