Process: It takes John many hours to produce a quality painting. The first task is to prime the canvas and make a rough sketch on the canvass. The next step is to decide what the dominant colors and tones are and to loosely paint these areas, or block them in.
The painting does not require a frame because it is Gallery wrapped
Gallery wrapped: This is a method of stretching an artist’s canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides of the stretcher bar and is secured to the back of the wooden frame. The frame is 1.5 “thick. The painting continues on to the edges of the canvas.
He will spend A considerable amount of time on the next step, which is working on refining the shapes and colors. Lastly, more details, tones, and highlights are added in.
The rich vivid colors in this painting are achieved by laying down several coats of custom blended paint.
Two coats of an acrylic medium to seal the painting are applied after a 24-hour period. Finally, two coats of satin varnish are added in for protection and to produce a nice soft low luster sheen.
John loves painting and enjoys expressing and sharing what he sees.
