A brief post just to show off my latest canvas. I recently asked a few friends whether they wanted a canvas for their rooms. I wasn't really fussed on what they wanted painted, just another piece to complete would be nice. My friend Matt got in contact with me and asked for anything I could think of. This was such a vague brief! I worked with what I know best - nude women. Think what you wish. He's a 20 year old guy who's currently doing up his bedroom, so I thought I'd go for something with an Austin Powers feel to it. Mix and out burst of colours with a neat silhouette on top.
I started out with my 'blank canvas' and began to sketch the nude woman with a pencil. After roughly mapping out where she would be I began to fill colour blocks with oil pastels. Fanning the colours out so it would look like they are coming out of her. After the colours were complete I got my black acrylic paint out and a very fine brush for the details.
In the final stage I filled the pencil out line and continued to keep the details as precise and neat as possible. Finishing it off with my signature. Alas the canvas was complete.
Stay Fabulous!
