New Slate Painting

Well just finished my latest slate painting.. It's a smallish piece at only 400mm high by 300mm wide on 18mm deep box canvas. I actually had no idea what I wanted to end up with I just started arranging the slate on the canvas and stuck it down with the fabulous product that is No More Nails.. lovely! Feel lost without a tube of that in the house ;-)

I added some mineral texture gel to give it even more texture as I want my work to be tactile.

When it comes to the final colour I knew I wanted the 2 main ones to be Turquoise and Gold.. that was it!

I actually tried something different this time and sprayed a black acrylic undercoat. How much quicker than brushwork?? and it's gets in all the nooks and crannies between the slate pieces!

The rest was all brushwork, drybrushing and ink washing with indian ink

Hope you like...

It is actually available to buy if anyone is interested?
