What I Used for This Painting

Acrylic paints, acrylic modeling paste, cardboards and gel medium on canvas. Size 72x44 inches.

Why This Painting is My Favorite

This painting is unique; I worked on it developing brush strokes, design element, composition and colors that pull the whole painting together in harmony. I love this painting, because it is possible for a blind person ton feel the energy of the painting by touching the thick paints layered on it and have an image in his/ her mind about the painting. There is a big brush strokes and textural bold colors. This painting now has an owner in Michigan.

Lessons Learned

  • I learned how to apply modeling paste and cardboard with acrylic paints.
  • Composition.
  • Harmony of colors with each others and different strokes effects.
  • Pulling all the brushstrokes, mixed media (cardboards, modeling paste) to be all harmonized with the whole canvas to reach a final harmony in the painting.
