Completed February 2019
Russ contacted me to commission an acrylic painting of his wife's late brother as a special birthday gift. We worked together to choose the best reference image and make any necessary adjustments to the picture. Creating the painting was enjoyable, as I felt honoured to participate in such a meaningful gesture.
Russ requested that the sunny disposition that illuminated Paul's face in the reference image be subdued slightly rather than to create a uniform tone. The sky was changed to a light blue colour, and the background foliage was reduced in prominence. This strategic alteration is intended to draw focus towards the principal subjects of the artwork, namely Paul and the baby.
Customer Testimonial
" Many thanks - such talent "
Once the painting is complete, it is coated with varnish. The customer requested a frame to complement and enrich the hues and intricacies of the painting. After careful consideration, they opted for the Brockwell moulding in a sleek black finish, perfectly accentuating the artwork's unique features.
