Back to The Three Graces

I have put up this image today to show more about how I work. I start with a brown ground and then transfer the drawing on top.

I work in acrylic. I use glazes to build up the forms. Part of the process also involves removal of paint, using a plastic pot scrubber as an eraser to get the tones I want.

This process of adding and subtracting can be time intensive in order to get exactly the effect I want.

You can also see how much I edited out the plant life in the finished painting (posted below).
